Without good leadership the church can be extremely busy but "working in the wrong jungle." In Acts chapter six, we are given an illustration of good leadership. As the church grew there were problems that arose. One was the distribution of benevolence; it seems the Hellenist widows, those from outside Judea, were being slighted. A complaint was made to the apostles who responded thusly, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." (Acts 6:2-4). It would have been very simple for the apostles to take care of the problem themselves, however to do so they would have been working in the "wrong jungle." Their focus needed to be on spiritual matters. Good leadership will not let itself get bogged down with business in the "wrong jungle" but will keep those they lead focused on the right path.

As a church we must be continually aware that it is easy to stray off into the "wrong jungle." We can be extremely busy but not with priority matters. Good leadership will keep us in the right jungle and focused upon the important matters. All of us should thank God for the good leadership of this congregation and to pray for them.
