Throughout
history men and women with leadership skills help to meet the challenges of
their generation rather than to allow spiritual and moral decay to get a foothold.
The Old Testament book of Judges illustrates how God's people cycled from integrity
and uprightness into moral and spiritual collapse.
Civilization needs leadership that begins
in the family and extends outward to all niches of society. The Lord God is
concerned about leadership. 1 John 3:7 warns about letting others lead you
astray. Ultimately, the quality of a person's integrity defines leadership style and
objectives.
Lyndon
Johnson's aide Jack Valenti speaks to us concerning leadership integrity. "In
the Normandy countryside of France is a little cemetery. Atop one of the graves
is a cross etched with these words; 'Leadership is wisdom and courage, which
means that leaders must risk their political future to do what is right for the
long-term interest of those they serve.'" Yes, it's a tough choice, but
doable, when Christ Jesus is your source for strength and courage.
