Corrupt Leadership A Threat To All

Proverbs 28
3 A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops. 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them. 5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully. 9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable. 12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, men go into hiding. 16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment, but he who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long life. 28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

In the PEACE PLAN, Rick mentions corrupt leadership as a global giant that needs to be eradicated. Unjust government oppresses people and lines their own pockets. We need to call for transparent, open, servant leadership; leadership that serves the needs of people and encourages each person to reach their highest potential. We need leadership that enforces the rule of law in order to provide a stable foundation for economic growth and justice for rich and poor alike.
