Every so often you read something that shoots daggers into your heart. The words are so convicting and yet inspiring. This is a good way to discern whether or not its true conviction or just beating yourself up out of false pride. I think this is a legitmate dagger. I just finished reading a blog post by Brant Hansen. He compares LeaderMan vs. Servant Leader, saying that we need more Servant Leaders like Jesus and no more of the LeaderMan type. The statement that shot the biggest dagger into my heart is this one:
LeaderMan: Loves the idea of the Gospel, and the idea of The Church
Servant Leader: Loves God and the actual individual people God brings across his path
