Elders Must Be Spiritually Fit


Much of the weakness and waywardness of our churches today is due directly to our failure to require that church shepherds meet God’s standards for office. If we want our local churches to be spiritually fit, then we must require our shepherds to be spiritually fit.

    Hi Glenn,

    Another good point!

    Glad you are still posting, even if it's not as much as previously. Hope you and Jill are well. :)

    I have a couple things I need to post but I've been too busy with so many other things, including an 8-hr day for a funeral 118 miles away and a 13-hr day trip of 590 miles for our 44th anniversary on the 1st. I had another funeral only 35 minutes away, a graduation party, doctor visits and, well you name it. Today I spent an hour with a roofer as we worked out things.

    Who said retirement was for relaxing!
