Key Steps For Christian Leadership

Every religion thrives on a system of leaders and followers. All the religions in the world; at least all the major ones, have always had leaders who have inspired and motivated others to become followers. This system is critical also to the proliferation and spread of a religion. Religious ideas need to be propagated; non-believers need to be converted into believers; the masses need to be informed and motivated, and enlightened about the basic tenets of the religion concerned. And all these can be perpetrated by a leader.

The same applies for Christianity too. However, with a visible reduction in our ecclesiastical activities, owing largely to the busy pace of modern life and a general growing number of distractions of all kinds, one might question the possibility of having such inspiring leadership around. To make matters worse, skeptics might also question the quality or availability of followership. The real question is, is there any appreciable number of people available to hear a leader speak, to get motivated, inspired or moved. The answer actually lies in our ability to look at the right places for such leaders.

The Internet has become an inseparable part of our lives today. Men and women in every part of the civilized world have started to spend more time online. The nature of modern work is such that it demands more time to be spent with computers. As such, it is leaving us with very little time for such activities as going to Church or attending religious seminars or conventions in our locality. However, the modern day Christian has managed to maintain a 'digital' touch with God by incorporating his religion into his work. Let me explain.

There is no dearth of Christian groups or communities, as they are often referred to as, on the various social media websites thronging the Internet today. These are regularly frequented by Christian from all over the world where they share their views on the subject, meet new like-minded people, hold discussions and do plenty more. To add to this, one would find many a Christian blog where one can exchange religious ideas in copious amounts. Indeed, there's a lot of Christian activity going on in the Internet today. And it is herein that one should look for leadership.
