TIPS TO PREVENT SCANDALS IN LIFE


The world has seen quite a few ministry scandals over the past year. Fortunately, these are 10 tips on how you can prevent scandal in your own life. 
     
Here is a summary.
Live a humble, transparent life.
Stay open to correction. 
Audit your actions regularly. 
Stay in touch with the real world.
Ministry is about loving people. But you will never develop compassion unless you are close enough to the grass roots to smell the poverty, lay hands on the sickness and cry with those who are in pain.
Don’t allow people to make you a celebrity.
Make family a priority.
Live modestly and give extravagantly.
Don’t build your own kingdom.    
Develop keen discernment.
Maintain your spiritual passion.
     

People who experience moral failure almost always lose their spiritual passion first.
No matter how scandalous it just might seem, still ask God for forgiveness for He still cares.
