Leading in the church is to be based upon service (bottom-up) and not formal authority (top-down):
And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, ‘If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all’. Mk 9:35
Jesus also explains that all the works of the world are evil:
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. Jn 7:7
John tells us that the things of the world originate with Satan:
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 1 Jn 5:19
