An open hand with younger church leaders
Biblical truth is in the closed hand. (It doesn’t change!)
But changing methodologies and adapting to culture is in the open hand. (It can change.)
Keeping that in mind will be helpful when giving younger leaders are given opportunities to lead in the church.
Mark Driscoll briefly discussed this in preparation to the 2006 DesiringGod conference. He makes a point that if younger men feel stifled and are not able to venture out and lead in creative ways, well, they will probably leave.
[HT: Carey @ Paul+Timothy ]
Be a Paul and raise up a Timothy, pouring out your life into him, and knowing that he will probably do things a bit differently.
