Leadership has its privileges, but more important - it comes with huge responsibilities.

Through the years, I've observed the lives of many Christian leaders.  I've noticed that they don't always demonstrate godly traits.  Sometimes there can be trouble at the top.

When God removes His hand of blessing becuse a leader engages in ungodly activity, everyone suffers.  That's why it's so important for every Christian in a leadership position to strive daily to keep his heart attuned to God and His Word.

Are you a leader?  At home?  At work?  At church?  Stay close to God.  Close enough that you can hear his whispers.  Living a Godly life is more than just "saying you are a Christian"  ... you have to walk it ... talk it ... live it daily.  That means look like a Christian ... smell like a Christian ... 

"Follow the Leader Who Follows Christ."
