‘T rue Christian principle will not stop to weigh consequences. It does not ask, What will people think of me if I do this? … With the most intense longing the children of God desire to know what He would have them do, that their works may glorify Him’ – The Sanctified Life p.39.

Church leaders are required to make decisions every day. However, some leaders are too worried about the consequences of certain decisions and actions. But true leaders are not afraid to make decisions, but they must be principle-based decisions.
