Years ago, J. Lee Grady offered some timely advice to spiritual leaders. “1) Live a humble, transparent life. Confess your sins to God and to your inner circle regularly. 2) Stay open to correction. 3) Be careful how you handle the little things. 4) Stay in touch with the real world. You will never develop compassion unless you are close enough to lay hands on the sick and cry with those who are in pain. 5) Don’t allow people to make you a celebrity.

“Be diligent in these matters…Watch your life and doctrine closely.”

— 1 Timothy 4:15-16 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, help us to watch what we believe about God and the way we live and relate to others. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
