Have you ever asked yourself, “What would it take for me to disobey God?” (137-4)
Unfortunately, history is filled with accounts of leaders who disregarded God’s revealed will and chose to do what seemed right to them at the time. Read Proverbs 16:25.
A fundamental question all Christian leaders should have an answer to prior to the temptation to participate is, “When is the price of obedience to God too costly?” Or put another way, “When does my way benefit me so much that it seems more right to me than God’s way?” Every Christian leader should periodically ask, “Do I have a price that would tempt me to choose my desires over God’s standards?” A godly leader’s commitment to God should be such that they will obey Him no matter the perceived value of the compromise offered.
