Principles of Leadership

National leaders on all sides fail miserably in providing righteous leadership. What does that involve? Godly leaders seek God’s direction (Proverbs 16:1), are modest not arrogant (Proverbs 16:5), are peacemakers (Proverbs 16:7), avoid conceit (Philippians 2:3), are real servants (Matthew 20:26, Luke 22:26), get a lot of advice (Proverbs 11:14), choose godliness not wickedness (Proverbs 29:2), are honest people who fear God and hate bribes (Exodus 18:21; Proverbs 29:4), judge the poor fairly (Proverbs 29:14), consider the least (Matthew 10:42, Matthew 25:40), and the lost (Luke 19:10), serve (John 13:1-17), and are living sacrifices (Romans 12).
