24 July 2016 - ENCS

Pastor Josh continued the series on leadership’s 5Cs
Moving from success to significance is one of the keys

Character is what will be known for at our life’s end
It's how we live our life, the result of a long term trend
From Romans five there is a lesson on how to cope
Suffering leads to endurance, then character and hope

Josh said that character is important, per First Kings ten
Although a great leader, Solomon has too many women
He ignored God’s very clear warnings in chapter eleven
And his wives turned his heart away from God in heaven

Josh then said character is a journey, not a destination
David’s sin was a blip that caused much consternation
But his response per Psalm fifty one showed his heart
Unlike son Solomon who from God his heart did depart

Repentance is actually a restoration of true character
In fellowship with each of us, God really does prefer
He knows all of our thoughts, our deeds, and our sin
Per First John one, God’s light over darkness will win

To renounce worldly passions, God’s grace trains us to do
As was written in Paul’s letter to pastor Titus chapter two
Those with good character are zealous to do good works
Leaving no time for bad things is just one of the perks

In conclusion, every great leader has a godly character
Enabling him or her to help others in their walk for sure
