By corruption, I mean the use of public office or privilege for selfish ends. Contrary to popular impression, corruption is not limited to embezzlement of public funds. It includes the use of one's position to unduly influence people to do one's bidding. According to the Scriptures, corruption is part of our adamic nature or inherited depravity. It is only a person who was not conceived by means of a man meeting a woman that is not corrupt. Corruption manifests in form of selfishness or selfcentredness, greed, clannishness, nepotism, favoritism, partiality, double standard, lies, hatred, envy, vindictiveness, unhealthy competition, blame shifting etc. We are all corrupt, irrespective of background, upbringing, education, training, outward dispostion, public perception, reputation, preaching, grandstanding, human rights activism etc. It is when we get access to power that our real nature comes out. It is only when the Saviour is allowed entrance into our hearts that the cancer of corruption can be cured. God bless all.
