John Piper on Truth Preventing Power Moves

C.J. Mahaney recently interviewed John Piper on various aspects of influences and lessons learned. In the interview Mahaney asked the following question:

What single bit of counsel has made the most significant difference in your leadership?
Piper’s answer is not only interesting, it is absolutely true. Anyone who has been in pastoral ministry and has seen the workings of men will know that the following is undeniable. Piper responded:
"Lead by helping people see the same truth in the Bible you do so that commonly perceived truth is the fabric that binds together. When truth is not the bond, power moves are inevitable."
