As a leader and influencer, I never want my life—privately or publicly—to cause others to stumble. That means there are Kingdom standards that must be applied daily to my life, regardless of what is popular in the world.
Sanctification within the office of clergy in today’s time seems to be widely ignored by many, and that is nothing short of rebellion. Culture, style, and trends are not greater than our Kingdom assignments. When leaders abandon the Word of God in pursuit of popularity with the world, they are not just rejecting biblical standards—they are rejecting God Himself.
Scripture is clear: judgment will be without mercy toward those who willingly place stumbling blocks in the church. Leadership is not about being liked; it is about being faithful. Our calling is to represent Christ, not culture.
