Ephes. 4:14 (KJV) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
When a church is operating according to an Eph 4 mentality they will go on a "Say No to the Fro" campaign. When Eph 4 leaders lead they will create an environment where people are no longer "tossed to and fro". I get so frustrated by the to and fro people. One minute they are committed world changers, then they are sensing Gods call onto something else and then God changes His mind again to move them elsewhere. As leaders we must embrace the challenge of equipping people to stand strong against the "Fro". This means being willing to speak the truth in love regardless of the response and reaction of the fro people. I think that we will always have them around, Jesus did, but for some reason they never liked being around Him for long. Even at the expense of not being liked He challenged the Fro!
God help us to be more like that!
