Christlikeness: Holiness, Not By a Hands-Off Approach
Church leaders do have a lot to do. They should be servants and not controlling. And, they should accept people and not be condemning. However, all of that should not translate into a hands-off approach.
Why Church Leaders Can't Take a Hands-Off Approach If They're Going to Steer People to Christ-like Character, Such as Holiness
Here are three biblical reasons why church leaders can't take a hands-off approach:- It's not alright if people mess up because of God's grace and willingness to forgive. (Rom. 6:1-2, 6-7)
- Church leaders' biblical responsibilities cannot be interpreted as a hands-off approach. (1 Pet. 5:1-3)
- People need guidance. (Gal. 6:1-2)
