Leadership Network and Catalyst are rocking this very neat free online conference called “The Nines.”
You’ve probably already heard the buzz about it around the blogosphere (and twitterverse) and so you probably already know that it’s a completely online 1-day conference that’s going to showcase 9 minutes with some very well-known leaders.
You can get more info here on this site or register here directly.
ChurchCrunch will be hosting some of the event live so feel free to hang out here when the time comes.
On a sidenote, I think that this type of thing is going to happen more and more often as ministries and organizations begin to leverage the power of “free” to its fullest potential. I dig that.
Are you registered? No? Go do it now.

Hmmm? Leadership?
Just wondering how you reconcile
the use of the word “leader”
with what Jesus said in Mt 23:10.
The word “leader”seems like
a “high place.” Yes?
Jesus always took and recommended
the “low place.” Yes?
Jesus humbled Himself,
made himself of no reputation
and took on the form of a servant.
Php 2:7
Jesus in Mat 23:10 told His disciples “NOT” to call
themselves master/“leaders”
for you have one master/"leader” the Christ.
King James Version –
Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, even Christ.
The Interlinear Bible –
Nor be called leaders,
for one is your leader the Christ.
Phillips Modern English –
you must not let people
call you leaders,
you have only one leader, Christ.
Today's English Version –
nor should you be called leader,
your one and only leader
is the Messiah.
The Amplified-
you must not be called
masters (leaders)
for you have one master (leader)
the Christ.
Jesus told His disciples “not”
to be called "leaders"
and none did.
Ro 1:1 Paul,
a servant of Jesus Christ…
Php 1:1 Paul and Timotheus,
the servants of Jesus Christ…
Col 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you,
a servant of Christ…
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God…
Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God…
2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant…
His disciples "all" called themselves "servants,"
none called themselves "leaders." None? None.
None called themselves
"servant-leader." None.
If someone
calls them self a "leader"
or thinks they are a "leader;"
Are they a "disciple of Christ?"
Wondering some more.
Most on the list of people
at this “leadership?” event
are not only considered “ leaders?”
but also have the “Title” “Pastor.”
Where in the Bible does it say “pastor = leader?”
Have you done your own study
on pastors?
I mean in the Bible?
What does the Bible say
about pastors?
Makes an interesting study.
Here’s some questions to ask
as you check out pastors.
In the Bible, How many people…
have the title pastor?
In the Bible, How many people are…
referred to as pastor?
In the Bible, How many people are…
ordained as a pastor?
In the Bible, How many congregations are…
led by a pastor?
Be blessed in your search for truth… Jesus
And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
John 10:16
One Fold – One Shepherd – One Voice.
If Not Now, When?
Be blessed and be a blessing.
