in the church there is so much work to be done.
it takes someone who loves the church to recognise how these needs can be met.
are you someone like jethro who loves the people? who is able to see the needs of the church.
there’s no question about moses’ sincerity… his willingness to serve might be right, but in so doing he was trying to carry a burden…
learn to work together… it is foolish to think that they can do all the work by themselves. the christian ministry is never a one man show. we must never try to do God’s work all by ourselves.
another problem is that it may generate pride: think that we are indispensable.
qualifications are NOT physical. it does not matter at all. what matters is spiritual. they MUST fear God.
john wesley said… shake the gates of hell. they must be men who fear God.
they must be trustworthy. men who you can entrust the truth to and expect them…
they must be honest…
in the military world is it called divide and conquer.
the bible has a name for this: the presbyterian system.
there are three main church government systems: episcopal, congregational, presbyterian.
the needs of the church are great. the solution is to pray for godly leaders. not just any leaders, men who fears God. men who can be trusted. men who are honest.
jesus will provide the people to lead the church. the church for whom he died on the cross to save.
