Leaders Need to Find People To Come Alongside who Defy the Entitlement Culture

This week I’m talking about last days leadership. Today’s church and business leaders are facing a culture of entitlement in America. Over 2/3 of the federal budget is composed of mandatory entitlement spending. That’s $2 trillion out of a $3 trillion budget. For example: most immigrants, both legal and illegal, quickly learn of their "entitlements" within our law and culture. What many immigrants initially feel fortunate and overjoyed to receive, turns into what they aggressively demand and feel they deserve. It is because we, the citizens, have created an entitlement culture.

This culture affects our businesses, government, and churches. For the last days leader it presents a great challenge to find other people who defy the culture-- people who will come alongside to maintain productivity, who will walk in humility, and walk in grace and civility. It is a challenge, but with God all things are possible.
