In Psalm 101:6-7, King David writes,
"I will keep a protective eye on the godly, so they may dwell with me in safety. Only those who are ABOVE REPROACH will be allowed to serve me."
WOW!
David - a man after God's own heart (and thus a life of leadership we should seek to emulate!) - would only allow men & women of integrity to surround him.
He goes on in verse 7 to say, "I will not allow deceivers to serve me, and liars will not be allowed to enter my presence."
Christian leaders of questionable character were not allowed into this king's presence - he would have nothing to do with them.
The idea of integrity and honor was so paramount to David that he took the time to offer this godly advice to us in the Psalms, advice that echoes to us now 3,000 years later.
