Lessons for Leaders on Character

The quality of a leader's character is an essential ingredient to a fruitful, successful, and enduring ministry.

"And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us"  Romans 5:3-5 (NASB).
