“‘above reproach’ This is the key qualification of the entire context for leadership in a local church. The phrase implies no handle for criticism, both in the believing community (vv. 2–6) and in the non-believing community (v. 7).” (Page 38)

“Preach the clear truths! Discuss the peripherals in love! Be gracious to all! Maturity will make us less judgmental and more Christlike.” (Page 78)

“There are no perfect leaders, but there are godly, respectable, acceptable believers.” (Page 38)

“First of all’ This Greek idiom means ‘of first importance.’” (Page 24)

“Conscience is a developing understanding of believers’ motives and actions based on (1) a biblical world-view; (2) an indwelling Spirit; (3) a knowledge of the word of God. It is made possible by the personal reception of the gospel.” (Page 13)
