J. Lee Grady of Charisma Magazine has some great advice for ministers when it comes to preventing scandal in their ministry. With the recent happenings with the Whites and ORU, it’s good to take a time out and take a personal inventory. I think these are great tips. I encourage you to go and read the whole article [here]
I love this quote:
“If the spirit of entitlement is seducing you, humble yourself and wash some feet. That is what true ministry is about.”
1. Live a humble, transparent life.
2. Stay open to correction.
3. Audit your actions regularly.
4. Stay in touch with the real world.
5. Don’t allow people to make you a celebrity.
6. Make family a priority.
7. Live modestly and give extravagantly. Bottom line: We don’t give to get, even though we know God blesses generosity. We give to give.
8. Don’t build your own kingdom.
9. Develop keen discernment.
10. Maintain your spiritual passion.
