The failure of leadership is nothing new in Canada or elsewhere, but more and more people are growing cynical about their leaders. No matter where you turn, you seem to find a lack of personal integrity and character. Leaders entrusted to public service appear to be more interested in having the public serve them.
This should not be surprising. Leaders are a reflection of society at large, and today we see character and integrity devalued in our culture. Real belief and faith in God is on the decline, and with it, standards of right, wrong and morality in general.
Few realize that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a message about government. Jesus came to declare the coming Kingdom of God, where rulers will not be elected, appointed or usurped by men. Jesus Himself will appoint leaders who have proven they will put the needs of others before their own.
