The Profile of a Godly Leader
God desires leaders to be men of character who put Him first in their lives.
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: God has a profile for leaders that set out in the book of Deuteronomy. If you want to be used by God, seek the anointing of his Holy Spirit. Be committed to God's people and learn to trust God in all things. Cultivate loyalty in all your commitments, especially your marriage. Place the pursuit of money on the altar and determine to receive whatever God gives you gladly. Be crystal clear in your convictions regarding the central truths of the gospel and feed on the word of God daily as you walk humbly with your God. That's the profile God gives of a man or a woman who gets his will done.
And if you're a leader, this is what God calls you to pursue.
Guest (Male): Is there someone in your life who needs to know the God of the Bible and might be open to take a journey through the Bible with you? Invite them to open the Bible dot org.
