Power and Integrity

Character and integrity are the great safeguards and health-giving boundaries to the use of power and authority by leaders. World history cries out with horrific stories when character and integrity are absent. Millions have lost their lives over this same issue of character and integrity. Thank God for his church where peace reigns and where leaders demonstrate leadership integrity that should be the envy of the world. Like a light in the darkness Christian leadership points the way to the correct use of power for the world.

Probably one of the biggest problems with the use of power is that many Christian leaders have not considered their level of integrity, and many have held back from the process of personal growth that leads to inner security and peace. When Jesus said ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid‘ (John 14:27) he was speaking of a deep-rooted, heart–mind dynamic that is the envy of the world. Leaders’ often work out their role with an insecurity that impedes their proper and effective use of power and authority, and colours their leadership. If we can sort out a disintegrated belief system, then leadership from the place of peace will flourish. We can preach ‘peace’, but living with it is harder to do. Our belief systems and lifestyles need to become an integrated whole.
