Who Were Good Leaders?

Thanks to everyone who posted on my ‘who’s a good leader?’ poll.

All of you choose George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and rightly so. Those men were outstanding leaders with great influence. They united people to a common goal.

What might surprise you is that all the men in my poll were good leaders. All men had great influence. Hilter was one of the greatest leaders of time. They all had influence to change people’s mind, and ultimately to change their course of action.

The difference between these men wasn’t if they were good leaders; it was where they lead. Washington and Lincoln were godly and servant leaders, while Hitler and Darwin promoted a lie, and death. They all had influence. The questions was whether it positive or evil.

Long & Loud Enough

Does my worldview matter?

Does it really matter what my worldview is? After all, it’s not going to change anything. What I think doesn’t matter.

Our worldview dictates what our actions are. If your worldview says there is no after life, you’ll pour all your money and energy into your world/culture, because you believe this life is all there is.

What you think dictates what you do. Ideas turn into actions. Our worldview controls how we interact with the world.

Think about Hitler. We all know about the holocaust and all the people he killed. His acts caused the death of about six million Jews. Why did he do this? His worldview. He believed in evolution and thought it was necessary to kill the ‘inferior’ people to advance mankind into the next stage of evolution.

Our worldview is important because it dictates our actions.
