As a Christian, How Do I Follow a Bad Leader?

By Althea DeBrule, Christian Career Tools

It seems that the prevailing view of workers these days is one of rebellion and resistance.If they don't agree with the leader or the person in authority, they resist him or her.

They don't want anyone telling them what to do, especially a leader who may not be as intelligent or have as much experience as they have.

However, the Bible is very clear about following those who are in authority (1 Peter 2:13-17), and specifically states that Christians are to exhibit a positive attitude of encouragement, support and respect that honors a bad leader's position even when they cannot be respected as individuals (Ephesians 6:5-7).
