“, God’s flock suffers if the shepherds are ineffective in their work.” (Page 2)

“It didn’t seem to occur to these men that they had allocated no time for prayer to seek God’s guidance on their decisions.” (Page 1)

“An elder with a teachable spirit will soon discover elders’ meetings to be a sort of graduate school for developing Spirit-controlled character. Being a pastor elder stretches one’s mind, character, knowledge of the Bible, prayer life, and people skills to the limit. Each meeting tests one’s love, self-control, forgiveness, humility, truthfulness, knowledge of the Word, spiritual wisdom, and pastoral skills.” (Page 10)

“God’s household. The church is not a business organization, governmental agency, or military establishment; it is a household, a family. This focus on family and people requires a pastoral, fatherly orientation and style of leadership.” (Page 43)

“Our goal is to have Christ-centered meetings that glorify God and result in better pastoral care of His flock.” (Page 3)
