Follow the Leader
Stuart Briscoe writes about a funeral for a war
veteran in which the man's military buddies had a role
in the service.
The friends requested that the minister lead them to
the casket for a moment of silence. They would then
follow him out a side door. The plan was carried out
with military precision--until the minister marched
them into a broom closet. The soldiers had to make an
awkward retreat.
That preacher made an honest mistake, but it
illustrates that leaders need to know where they are
going. As go the leaders, so go the followers. (Haddon
Robinson).
