Emotions are contagious! In today's message from Pastor Mark, he teaches the importance of guarding your emotions. Emotions, have the ability to rub off on others. Guarding your emotions, especially for leaders, is very important. When you are in a role of leadership, you can't storm around wanting people to feel sorry for you. You are to lead others by example, in showing them what it looks like to control their emotions. People look to leadership, to help them know what is and is not acceptable. As a leader, you can't defend your rights to lash out. You are called to pick up your cross daily, deny yourself, and follow the Lord!
