Today’s Trent TV installment addresses those who have signed up to lead various charges across the spectra. Rather than making any true advancements, many high-profile leaders seem only to be taking things in increasingly wrong and horrible directions. Finding themselves in possession of the cookie jar, immoral leaders have all too often eaten all of the cookies, broken the jar, and buried the evidence in faraway fields. Thanks.
“I am struck at how substance-free babbling counts as leadership these days,” Trent Ling shares. “Then, those who hire and pay these goons are shocked to witness rotting situations as they are revealed across a slow, damaging, inside-out process. As schools of leadership have emerged, it seems all we get these days are mediocre actors who fool most naked eyes to get the top gigs long enough only to destroy the place. Back in the day, leaders could be spotted miles away. Today, phonies under only resume scrutiny take the reigns and head right for the ditch. And the worst situations always come down to grave, underlying moral problems.”

And when found out taking, what’s worse is when the leaders stumble to be accountable–omnipresent darkness! I watched Inside Job, and the accountability chapter contains no accounting at all. I am grateful to be trained how to like being questioned and accounting in this ministry, for eventually it is to God that we need to answer. If we fail to account to human today, how would we face God?!
I have been a leader who takes! It is such a selfishness. I was observing myself as I was working on billing the other night. Instead of sticking to it and finishing it and working hard, I got up a few times just to get something to eat — it’s the same heart as a taker — only thinking of myself when work has to be done. I cannot be on this list!
I hope God raises people like us as replacements to these “unfaithful” seeing the Word says the wealth of the unrighteous is laid up for the righteous. We could then fulfill God’s covenant, proclaim the word, help the desolate and rebuild the former waste places.
This rebuke is great for all, and hopefully those with leadership positions, who may not even know it (LIKE PARENTS) will consider it. It’d be easy to act like people aren’t following each others’ leads but how easy it is to believe”This isn’t for me?” Especially in today’s age where everyone is a celebrity (Social Media), we can all benefit from not being Leaders Who Take
In a position of leadership or not, we should fear a living God and stay away from all kinds of wickedness. “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
I would rather live within his favor! “You have granted me life and favor, and Your care has preserved my spirit.” (Job 10:12)
Amen. Very Nice.
