J. Lee Grady, editor of Charisa Magazine, has recently written a new article about leadership in the church: “Where Have All the Leaders Gone.” He speaks candidly about the need for a new generation of Christian leaders who fear God, tell the truth, and hate dishonest gain. He specifically mentions the story of Michael Guglielmucci, the Australian pastor who lied about his battle with cancer to cover up his pornography addiction. Grady’s brief remarks are a good word of warning to pastors today.
