You already know the temptation that could bring you down, therefore you must attack it before it attacks you!
Whether you lead your family, a corporation, a church or in government, integrity is vital for every successful leader. Moral failings destroy the very foundation of everything a leader builds. Therefore, we must fight against the inner temptations and urges that could destroy what we're striving to create.
