When faced with an ethical choice or a temptation, consider the example you set for others. Think of all those who are watching you — children, friends, mentorees, and church members. How will your decision impact them? With church leadership comes the sacred gift of moral authority.13 Our moral authority can be lost in an instant. When temptation knocks, we must ask ourselves if saying yes to temptation is worth hurting those who look up to us.
