You are right to suggest that we need to look closely at the character of the next elected person we entrust with the heart of the city. Trust a person who has succeeded in the small things in this area before giving them the key to the city's treasures.
Spot the small cancers in character before they grow out of control.
Charisma does not mean that person is ready to lead you! Don't be duped by those 'dressed up' appearing important or whose large stature suggests that they "should lead" but themselves are not big enough to pour water on the feet of those of whom they are charged to serve.
Don't be fooled by those who mimic goodness, but reward those who really deserve to be recognized for deeds of Good Will and Service, who value education, forthrightness and morals rather than those who smugly admire their own their intelligence, glib speeches marveling at how they are entitled to be spared in the face of mocking God, the law, their wives, and anybody else.
Character and integrity are character and integrity...PERIOD...you either have it OR you do not have it! You are a thief with your hands because you are a thief in your heart .
If you lust in you body, you either have put yourself under to adultery and deal with your mind and thoughts...or you will succumb! Look at all these politicians messing up their careers over this!
If you were on a pro sports team, you would be trained to conserve the greatness of your power be abstaining for the benefit of the game...And those who have gone against this discipline have ALWAYS gotten to a point where they could not hide it and the LOST!!!
MEN - be greater than you could be...start by honoring yourself by honoring God and the power to create that HE placed in you to find heaven!!!
