As a Christian leader, our moral code is not dictated by society which changes with the seasons. Honestly, it is a full time job keeping up with the latest ethical trend and we are too busy for that. Our code of ethics never changes, even when our business partners, the Wallstreet Journal, or leaders of the globe insist it is protocol. We will always adhere to the business plan described by King David thousands of years ago, yet, remains relevant to modern success. Reading Psalm 15, there is no argument as to what kind of leader God expects us to be. King David asks the question, 'Lord, who may enter your Holy Tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?' and goes on, through experience, to answer the question.
Only those who are innocent and who do what is right.
Such people speak the truth from their hearts and do not tell lies about others.
They do no wrong to their neighbors and do not gossip.
They do not respect hateful people but honor those who honor the Lord.
They keep their promises to their neighbors, even when it hurts.
They do not charge interest on money they lend and do not take money to hurt innocent people.
King David punctuates the above by stating: Whoever does all these things will never be destroyed.
Note, he didn't say you'd never have problems, but he did have the assurance that God has our back and when problems come up, they would not destroy us. It's a call to action-are you up for the challenge?
