Humility.

In my own life, I can count ten separate situations where I have knowledge of a Church minister who has gone off the rails by taking the path of adultery.
If we consider the big name evangelists such as Bakker, Marvin Gorman and Jimmy Swaggart, we have added 3 very big names to this list.
The trouble is, so many truly genuine people get too big for their boots; they see themselves as being more important than they actually are. 'God cannot do without their ministry'. It is arrogance by any other name.
It is a classic form of temptation from the enemy - the simplest and the most effective and when compounded with using the hapless victim's libido ....
Leadership is dangerous. If not accompanied by humility it will turn to ashes.
" Blessed are the meek ..."
