Can someone truly fear God and still abuse their authority?
In this conversation, Lee examines five biblical examples showing how the fear of the Lord acts as a safeguard against spiritual abuse. From domineering leadership and manipulation to favoritism and corruption, Scripture consistently shows that those who rightly fear God will not use their position to burden, exploit, or control others.
If a leader's behavior contradicts God's character, it's worth asking whether the fear of the Lord is really present.
