Leadership

As I look at our country today, I see the appalling lack of good leadership. Oh there are many who can gather a following, but few who lead that following uprightly. Most are driven by their own agendas and desires. What happened to serving the people?

I think it is a matter of training in righteousness. If our leaders have not been trained to think rightly, how can we expect them to act rightly. That’s what causes all the confusion and fighting. Each one is doing what is right in their own eyes, and that usually is some self-serving agenda, which naturally conflicts with someone else’s desires.

How can we straighten the path and end the self-serving leadership of today? I say we go back to the instruction manual, the Word of God. II Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
