How can you be so stupid?

Bill George, author of TRUE NORTH, says: "Too many people reach the top only to lose their moral compasses." We've seen that in recent days when a promising congressman torpedos his political career with foolish indiscretions. We've seen prominent pastors who lose family, reputation and ministry for momentary and risky behavior. Too often, successful, talented people feel they're invulnerable to getting caught. They pursue their narcissistic pleasures to the ruin of their moral reputation.

How can a leader avoid such traps from the dark side? Start by having a group of men whol hold you accountable and who call you on stupid behavior. God's word says: "Above all, guard your heart for out of it come the big issues of life. "
