Titles can be the source of much contention and confusion. Show me a confused organisation and titles, probably, are part of the problem, because we can allow titles to define and focus the energy of people. Or, we can use ambiguous titles that cause confusion and delay.
In Thomas the Tank Engine we see exactly this as the various engines think they’re more important than the others around them. Frequently we’ll hear the Fat Controller tell one of them off and state that they’ve been causing confusion and delay.
In life it’s good to know what it is that somebody does!
But they only help while the people assigned any given title realise that any assigned title is merely a means to describe the function of any one individual.
When ego gets in the way, titles become unhelpful.
Titles matter, but don’t let your ego get in the way of the function of what you are because, ultimately – as Christians – we are all equal before God, with various functions to fulfil.
Just a thought…
