---Cronyism is when a head is partial and give a job to friends or trusted colleagues regardless of their qualifications.

---The opposite style is meritocracy where a person is only appointed on the basis of real qualifications or merits.

---Meritocracy is when one has to be qualified to be favored. It is more just and fair.

---A number of words are linked to cronyism.

---Cartel, collective narcissism namely when people talk good about a bad group. ---In-group favoritism is when favor is given just to the group.

---Nepotism is to give an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives or close friends in an occupation or field. 

---Ever heard of an ex-president who insisted that his son or daughter should teach at the university? And he forced the appointment? Nepotism. “I think you will be the best president for this university…my son”.

---This happened in Paul’s day and was well known in the Roman system of the Administration.

---When Sennacherib was murdered by his two sons in the temple in 2 Kings 19 at the end, his son Esarhaddon became king.

---He was so nervous that he killed nearly his whole “FBI” in order to secure himself.

---He built secret passages to his room in the palace.

---When he expected that they are going to kill him he disappeared for 120 days and live a simple life like a farmer.

---He made eunuchs governors of cities so that they will be absolutely loyal to him only for security reasons. Appointments by cronyism.

---Paul says of the Trinity the following in Ephesians 6:9

“he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him”.

---No favoritism means no cronyism, no nepotism, no collective narcissism, no in-group favoritism, no cartel. Hello.

---Is your pastor only selecting certain people for his teams and never pay attention to other qualified people in the church? Better to have an eyeball-to-eyeball discussion with him. Correct?
