Abstract
Christians are called to lead by God, and they are also called to be the calming influence for their organizations during a crisis. Christians and the Christian faith have been at the forefront of many achievements we have seen on earth since the time of Jesus. Christian leaders were largely responsible for the creation of hospitals and universities as well as many of the scientific discoveries we see today. Christianity also inspired many of the most well-known works of art and literature and it also encouraged the concepts of justice for all and liberty (Schmidt 2004). Christians should understand and appreciate all of the good things that the faith has brought to the world and they should not be afraid to allow their faith to influence their leadership. There are many stories in the Bible to guide Christians on how to lead the people in their organization. In many ways Christians were made to lead and the Bible serves as the leadership textbook for them to follow.
