When Peter is talking to the churches in 2 Peter 2 about Persecution, he brings up one interesting name: Lot. We don’t often remember Lot for his goodness, but Peter says that his “righteous soul was vexed” by the immorality that was around him daily. Daniel was in the same boat. Exiled in Babylon after the destruction of Judah, Daniel lived decades in a land that was pagan in every sense of the word: religiously, culturally, emotionally, and physically. Many of us know how those two men felt. How do we survive in a pagan world that is hostile to all things Christ? The same way they did.

CloseEveryone wants to be a leader, but few are willing to make the sacrifices required in order to effectively lead people. Fewer still are willing to place themselves in a completely subservient position and put the interests of others ahead of themselves. But isn't that what Jesus did? As He Himself said: "I came not to be served, but to serve, and to give Myself as a ransom for many." Unless we embody the same mentality, we can never hope to lead those under our charge, no matter who that is.
