Review the characteristics below of an elder, or shepherd, of the church. Then - compare them with your answers from yesterday’s WOD. What similarities do you see?
“An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.” (Titus 1:6-9)

It’s usually something about which you are embarrassed or ashamed. It is a weakness.” (Dr. Meg Meeker, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters)
