With all that is going on in the world today with the COVID19 pandemic, most people would agree that everything must change, but would most people know why, how and to what end? Back in 2007, Brian McLaren in his book, everything must change, was able to give the right diagnosis of our world today and to suggest a way forward for individuals, communities, states and the global community. Brain takes time to explore two major questions including: Q#1. What are the biggest problems in the world? Q#2. What does Jesus have to say about the global problems? The author identifies four deep dysfunctions that could explain the plethora of critical global crisis. 1) The environmental breakdown caused by our unsustainable global economy – the prosperity crisis; 2) The growing gap between the ultra-rich and the extremely poor – the equity crisis; 3) The danger of cataclysmic war arising from intensifying resentment and fear among various groups – the security crisis; and 4) The failure of the

After reading it 15 years ago; I’m surprised that its lessons are still as poignant as they were back in 2005. I can understand why over the span of half a century, Oswald Sanders book has earned recognition as a classic in the study of principles of godly leadership. Chapter 21 – Perils of Leadership should be a companion for every leader. Is it right for a person to want to be a leader? We mostly and with some level of hypocrisy tend to think that it is better for a leadership position to seek us out rather than us seeking it out. Sanders shows that there is a place for genuine ambition in leadership, including in spiritual leadership. Desiring to excel and lead is not a sin. It is motivation that determines ambition’s character. What would be the usefulness of single person? The Bible shows us that when God doe
