This document discusses why Christian leaders fall into sin and offers advice to prevent it. It notes that pride can lead leaders to think they are immune to temptation or don't need accountability. It warns that being too busy for prayer and fellowship with God can result in placing other priorities above Him. The document advises humility, recognizing one's own weaknesses and relying on God, as well as avoiding small compromises and idleness that can lead down a slippery slope into more serious sin. Maintaining accountability and an active prayer life are presented as ways for leaders to guard against falling into sin.

1. DGROUP – Never Walk Alone
WHY CHRISTIAN LEADERS
FALL INTO SIN

2. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY LEADER
THAT YOU LOOKED UP TO THAT HAS
FALLEN INTO SIN?
HOW DID THIS AFFECT THE PEOPLE AROUND
THEM?

3. PRIDE
"It will never happen to me."

4. "Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall."

5. "It will never
happen to
me."
"I can handle
the
temptation."
I don't need
help from
my Dgroup.
" I will never
be like ..."
"I am not
like my..."
" It's no big
deal"

6. "That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight
in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties. For
when I am weak, then I am strong."

7. "Pride opens the door to compromise
and unwise decisions; it ignores
conviction. Conviction is not always a
hammer to the head, it's a still small
voice to the heart."

8. "We are never, never so
much in danger of being
proud as when we think
we are humble."

9. "Be humble enough to know that you
cannot do it on your own and that you
need God's help."

10. Too Busy for Prayer
and Fellowship

11. • WORK
• FAMILY
• MINISTRY
• GOD
Placing God Second

12. "Do not merely listen to the word, and
so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

13. When a leader falls, he or she has no
meaningful prayer or devotional life.

14. Cheap grace and
pop-culture

16. "Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God’s
will is—his good, pleasing and perfect
will."

17. Small
Compromises

18. "We're often too smart to take
deliberate plunges, but we're easily
enticed to take one step at a time, one
compromise at a time, one bad choice
at a time until we're at the bottom."

19. Flee from sexual immorality. All other
sins a person commits are outside the
body, but whoever sins sexually, sins
against their own body.

20. Idleness

21. NEVER take
accountability for
granted.

22. Exposing cracks in the armour helps
others keep an eye on them as well.
