While at North Point Community Church a couple weeks ago, during the final Q & A session, one of the church leaders, Bill Willits, was asked, "What do you do as a leader to guard your heart?" In other words, what safeguards to you have in place to make sure you don't blow it morally?
Bill answered the question the way I'd expect a small groups guy to answer it: be a part of a small group have have people in your life that you've given permission to ask the tough questions. I've come to realize that saying it, doing it, and REALLY doing it are all very different things. You've gotta be serious about it. You've gotta really want it. I'm not even sure if I'm completely there yet.
Then Bill said this: "I'm always one bad decision away from blowing it all...for my family, for my church..." He said, "And if you have secrets, you're really close to that bad decision."
Wow! So I've been thinking...and searching. Are there any secrets in my life? Because I don't want to blow it. How 'bout you? Any secrets in your life?
