God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Leaders of character produce organizations of character because character, like conviction, is infectious. Followers are drawn to those whose character attracts them as something they want for themselves.
Blame-shifting will fool some of the people some of the time, but it will never fool God any of the time… Blame-shifting is what I do when I basically know I’m guilty and am just trying to convince myself or someone else that maybe I’m not.
