“A Trustworthy Statement”

Blessings folk!

Elders.
Overseers.

We have seen some of what the Word says about them.
Here is more.

Read.
Meditate.
Take it before the Lord.
Is this what we seek when we seek leadership?

1Ti 3:1-7

It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.

He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity

(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),

and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.


These are trustworthy.

Let us trust in the Lord rather than the strategies, process, plans and procedures of man.
