False Prophets: Ungodly Leaders

Why do people fail? Unfortunate circumstances? Sometimes. Poor training and lack of experience? Sometimes. Lack of sufficient finances? Often.

The famous self-help book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, lists 30 reasons why people fail.

However, he did not identify one prominent reason for failure, following faulty leaders. Following faulty leaders? Yes, many times, and more than we want to admit.

Unqualified leaders have no trouble attracting followers. I know, I fell for them often in my youth, especially professing Christian leaders.

So much so that I created a policy to protect me from following the wrong people. I decided to raise a "red flag" whenever I observed a Biblically faulty trait in a leader, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
