Follow Me…

During the quarterback camp held last month, “Follow Me…” was the theme for everybody in attendance.

Whether you like it or not, YOU ARE A LEADER.  As a quarterback of a football team, you are a natural leader that everyone is looking to to lead them on and off the football field.  You can be a vocal leader, or one who would rather lead with actions more than words, but either way you do not have a choice of whether or not you want to be a leader.  Too many people in our society today shy away from acting like a leader.  There are many followers, but few leaders.  With a leadership role like playing quarterback, you have a choice on which direction you are going to lead people.  You can either lead them in a direction that will help the team, or in a direction that will hurt the team.  This is also true with life.  Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”  Paul was confident in his leadership because he knew that the person he was leading people to was someone that would save them.  WHAT ARE YOU LEADING PEOPLE TO?

 

We gave camp participants a bracelet that said “Follow Me…” 1 Cor 11:1.  This bracelet is meant to act as a reminder that it is okay to step up and act like a leader as long as you’re leading people to the right things.  If you are interested in receiving a bracelet and are willing to lead people, please contact me and I will send you one.
