However, you can find it in secular areas like charity work. I’ve worked with amazing people in both faith based and secular charity work. However, you also find people who go there because it is a place where you can acquire power and control over others. They don’t have to be stealing or taking money but they have the power over volunteers, people who are engaged with the charity etc. and that can pervert the “good” the charity was formed to help. You can also work with charities that keep the focus on the mission which is helping not on personal power and attention.

People can fail badly and we need to be willing to walk away from situations we don’t have the power to change. We should pray for people who find themselves stuck in those situations.
