Here are some thoughts about temptations of leadership.
Male Leadership
A meditation on Colossians chapter 3
From seven deadly sins or more:
Good Lord deliver us:
From arrogance
And competitive pride
In our own ability,
We’ll put on humility;
From grasping greed
And lust for power:
I’ll practice gentleness
Tolerance and kindness
I’ll replace anger
Malice and slander
With forgiveness
Patience and righteousness.
Am I one who aspires
To control my desires?
Maybe I occasionally flirt
When ladies are particularly pert.
It’s true I exaggerate,
Add spin at any rate
The truth distorting,
But avoiding blatant lying.
My orthodox Biblicism
Is beyond any criticism.
My radical rationality
Avoids sins of popularity
I have an expectation
Of a large congregation,
Delegate the love and care
To those more pastorally aware.
