Moses was very Humble

Published on

Moses was very humble—more than any person on earth. But in our day, very few Christian leaders are humble. Congregations destroy leaders who are humble.

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

To be humble is the human ideal. Moses was the most humble person alive.

But in our day, very few ministry leaders are humble. In part, that is necessary. Congregations destroy leaders who are humble.

To be able to survive, a leader must be strong. Powerful. Skilled at winning arguments. Machiavellian, even.

In other words, the opposite of humble.

In other words, the opposite of Moses. The opposite of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The opposite of the Lord Jesus.
