May 17, 1937, Perils of Leadership (AAR).
The MV leaders were gathered together to learn about leadership and how to have a successful MV program in their location.
Perils of Leadership:
• Failing to realize our supreme need for time with Jesus
• Being so busy that we fail to leave time for personal, daily, regular absorbing communion with God.
• Deadening familiarity with spiritual things.
• Worldliness brings a benumbing deadening influence to our service.
"Are we, as leaders, removing the stones from the path of our young people? Are we lifting up the standard for them to follow? or are we so friendly with the world that the standard is dragging in the dirt, and our influence is placing stumbling stones? Our homes, furniture, clothing, all influence others and reveal our true selves. God calls for simplicity in living. Man's position does not make him one jot or tittle greater in the sight of God. Character alone is what God values. What are our social relations? Worldly pleasure must not be part of our lives. Do we practise healthful living? Are we strict about Sabbath observance, or do we use the day in social visiting? Do we put away the newspaper and turn off the wireless before the opening of the Sabbath? Is family worship conducted? Are we as leaders living up to this standard? God is calling us to return to the old paths." "Perils of Leadership," Australasian Union Conference Record, May 17, 1937.
