John Willison on church leadership

Short of loving Jesus Himself, the one thing I'd say is to love the Church, His Bride. Carry the Church in your heart -- all the different kinds of people. Think about her during your day. Love her. Protect her. Honor her. Don't let anyone use her, abuse her or say anything bad about her. Make your decisions for the betterment of the Church -- your songs, your lists, your personnel and your training of others.

Only let people who truly love the Church serve the Church and lead the Church.
