Proverbs 21:4  (The Message) “Arrogance and pride – distinguishing marks in the wicked – are just plain sin.”

4.  The Biggest Temptation of a Leader.

No question about it, one of the greatest struggles a leader can face is Arrogance and pride.  I recently made the comment to some pastor friends of mine that, “the ministry is an extremely prideful place.”  There’s just something about the ministry that causes good men (& women) to get prideful, territorial & insecure.

I want to be a leader that checks pride and arrogance at the door.  There’s a big difference between walking in a God Confidence in what you’re called to be and to do and being arrogant or prideful.

Learning the difference can often be the difference maker between a leadership legacy of mediocrity and greatness for God.

Deep… very deep.
