Excerpts From The Book
Unfaithful & Untrustworthy
Are you a leader in your ministry? If you are, many times you are privy to confidential and personal information regarding the affairs of the church, its activities and its members; especially if you are in a leadership position that requires you to counsel or intercede for the Saints of God. The degree of integrity you have as a leader in one of those capacities (but not limited to) is partly dependent upon your ability to be faithful and trustworthy with confidential information. Do you counsel your brothers and sisters and then tell it? Yet, you are angered and will rebuke anyone who attempts to involve themselves in the affairs and shortcomings of your own “private” life?
Is Your Struggle With People
People aren't stupid they're just different. Everyone doesn't think just like you do. Have you ever thought to yourself that there should be one specific personality trait for everyone then the world would be just a little more efficient? Don't smirk. Many people have secretly thought that very statement, or something like it. They think to themselves, “I'm a reasonably rational and sound-minded person; my bills are paid on time; I have a house, car and a money market account; I have successful friends and a secure job; I don't just say stupid things to get people's attention or to make someone laugh; what's wrong with other people?”

About The Author
Psalmist & Bass Guitarist, Padrika Gray
Jacksonville, Florida
“As a believer and minister of music, I quickly began to find out that for the
one to whom much is given, much is required. God requires all of us to walk worthy of the vocation that He has called us to. Every day, I make a conscious choice to allow God's Word to renew my mind. It's not always easy, and it's never popular to walk in integrity—but it's worth it!”
(Luke 12:48 ~ Ephesians 4:1–32) |
