Acts 14

Too many Christian leaders love adulation. In the city of Lystra, Paul and Barnabas asked God for a mighty miracle of healing. When a lame man was healed, many began considering them gods. At this, the Apostles tore their clothes and shouted “We are human just like you.”

They did not want to rob one ounce of glory from God. Worthy Christian leaders resist adulation and bathe themselves in humility and worship. The Psalmist said, “Not unto us Lord but unto Thy name receive glory.”
