ILM #016: I Would Rather Be Judged Righteous by God

Today in our Inspired Leadership Minute I want us to look at Proverbs 18:5: “It is not good to be partial to the wicked or to deprive the innocent of justice.”

We have two situations described in this proverb and both involve a perversion of justice. First, there is the judge who gives preferential treatment to someone who is guilty. And second, there is the judge who deprives the innocent of a fair hearing.

In effect, this judge is reversing moral standards by calling the guilty good, and the innocent guilty.

What does this mean for us as leaders today?

Leaders are called on to make judgements about people and issues all the time. As Christian leaders, we must stand against the reversal of morality where evil is called good, and good is called evil.

I don’t know who said it first, but there is a line in the movie “God’s Not Dead 2” that goes, “I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God.”

Christian leaders, we need to stand with God against the reversal of moral standards that is becoming so prevalent in our society today!

That’s it for this week’s Inspired Leadership Minute. My prayer is that together we will be the powerful, inspired leaders God intends us to be!
