I pity my wife. She is at home on maternity leave and is already sick of it.
If you live in Australia your nation is (supposedly) in turmoil.
It is on the television everywhere.
The radio waves are full of it.
Every water cooler, in every workplace, is buzzing with speculation, gossip and mindless, ill informed banter.
On Monday those competing for the leadership of the political party in power (and thus the leadership of the country) will have a old-school Mexican standoff. If you don't know about the story you can read about it here.
I don't want to bore you with my political ravings, but the way the entire episode has unfolded over the last week has raised a few questions for me...
What if this was going on in a church?
If someone was actively undermining the leadership, would it be tolerated?
If you were in a visible leadership position, but not the "head role," and publicly rejected by the senior leaders of your church, should you resign immediately?
BUT, the question which bounces around my mind the most is this...
If you don't respect, follow and support the leadership of you church, should you do yourself, the minister and the church a favour and leave?
