The Leader’s Reflection comes from Frank Viola: Ten Ways Not to Grow. Be bitter with someone who has hurt you. Use your time, money and resources only for yourself. Spend no time alone with the Lord. Don’t read God’s word. Defame others or their work. Rarely read books or listen to messages with spiritual Christ-centred depth. Have no friendship with other believers. Let envy and jealousy rule your heart and drive you.
