Speaking at this year's Word Alive (Spring Harvest), at Weymouth, Roy Clements challenged the church to rethink its policy on choosing leaders.
In his address Roy said: 'God is looking for people who have learnt the crucial lesson of humility.' And he went on to warn those who seek leadership: 'Beware of selfish ambition.'
Focusing on Mark 10.35-45, Roy Clements pointed out that, all too often, Christians adopt the same models of leadership that operate in the world. 'Our insatiable appetite for self-esteem is the engine that drives countless workaholics . . . and some of us, even when we become Christians, do not learn any better. We bring that same egoistic ambitiousness into our spiritual lives too.'
