Christian Leaders

Christians are not perfect. They go through the same temptations as anyone else, and sometimes, they will give in. But when they do, they are not more wrong in giving in than anyone else is. There is only one level of wrong. There’s no greater sin. People think just because you are in a position of leadership, you must be perfect and if you make a mistake, they have the right to condemn you.

Yeah, sometimes it’s disappointing to see a great leader fall, but it’s even more encouraging to watch them pick themselves up and ask for forgiveness and move forward, helping others more than they ever did before because it’s in those moments, where you realize, yes, they are put on a pedestal, but they are just like us. Human. Imperfect. Striving to live the right way for God.
