Ambition

Since God calls us all to be leaders in one way or another, we should examine whether our motivations are for ourselves or for others. Philippians 2 says we should “do nothing out of selfish ambition,” but should consider others and their interests more important. This sums up the other-centeredness of servant leadership. Are your ambitions selfish ambitions? Or are they, like Christ’s, selfless ambitions for the good of others?
