Leading by Example

Greetings to all. As we progress through life, we eventually realize that our example is our ministry.

Integrity has power in life and leadership. Many, if not all, of us have heard the saying, "Do as I say, not as I do." This comes from those who have authority without the integrity to match it.

Matthew 23:3–4 (GW)

3 So be careful to do everything they tell you. But don’t follow their example, because they don’t practice what they preach.

4 They make loads that are hard to carry and lay them on the shoulders of the people. However, they won't lift a finger to move them. 

Lesson: In life, whether in relationships or when you have authority over others and set expectations, we must have conviction, character, and a willingness to apply them.
