—1 Timothy 5:17-22
by: Harold King.
While those who serve the Lord as leaders find the service rewarding and gratifying, Scripture says they are worthy of double honor if they are fulfilling their calling well. They deserve a living wage and the respect of those they serve. If you hear rumors about them, make sure they are true and substantiated by witnesses before you speak or take action against them. In other words, be fair-minded. Once again we are reminded that leadership is serious and not to be taken lightly. Sincerely seek the Lord's guidance before calling someone to a position of leadership, and do the same thing if you are ever called to discipline those who are already leaders.
