     | 5,827 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more
