| Elders, Care For Your Flock |
| Elders of the church, care for the flock that God has entrusted to you - watch over them. Do it willingly, not grudgingly; do it because you are eager to serve Him. Don't lord over the people assigned to your care - lead them by your good example. When the Shepherd comes - your reward will be never ending - more than ample! You younger men, accept the authority of the elders because they know more about life than you. Don't ever think you are wiser - that is the wrong thing to do. Elders and the flock are there to serve each other then the love of our Savior shines bright! Let there be peace among you that leads to the Masters light. Remember: "God sets Himself against the proud but He shows favor to the humble." Proverb 3:34 Love each other with the love of the Lord, speak kindly and don't grumble! inspired by 1st Peter 5:1-5 written 10/ 11/2002 |
