We live in an age where "Christian leaders" can quite simply be created with the help of wealth and technology. Men and women, in the name of Christ, are wielding great influence over the lives of hundreds of thousands of believers.
And yet their own lives may be in moral shambles.
A true Christian leader is one whose public moral influence is simply an extension of a deeply nurtured and mature innermost private life in Christ.
The rapid pace of modern society often forces us to react on the spot out of who we already are. To meet those demands we must rely on the much deeper resource of the Spirit. How we are guided becomes a reflection of our core values.
We need a fresh call to the holiness and integrity of the Christian way.
