You've all had times, hopefully, when you experienced this 'life.' But when you aren't experiencing it, you fake it. Too often, we use this ability not to convey who we are, but who we want others to think we are."Ĭhan adds, "God's desire for all believers, especially leaders, is ' life that is truly life' (I Timothy 6:19 NIV). God gifted us with an ability to communicate. "If your family, friends and congregation have better things to say about you than God, it's because you give them that impression," says Chan. He notes that "leaders make the greatest hypocrites because of their ability to persuade and deceive," but says that a leader's public passion should never exceed their private devotion. In times when he is occupied with ministry and the busyness of life, Chan admits that he also fakes how passionate he is. I just forget to love Him," says Chan in a blog post on Church Leaders. I'm convinced that He means more to me than my wife, kids or anyone else on the planet. When I sit and think about Him, I'm filled with intense feelings of adoration.
