One Sign You're Doing Good Work as a Leader

Do you want to know one sign you're actually doing well as a leader?

It's not foolproof, but it's pretty telling—in my experience.

You'll know you're doing good work when ... people oppose you!

And I think we have biblical principles to illustrate this.

"But I will remain at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries (1 Cor. 16:8-9).

Here is the reality—few people worry about the people doing nothing.

Have you noticed the more you do for good, the more opposition you receive?
