Application questions:
If you had to single out one of these qualifications for church leadership, which one would it be? Why?
What should a church member do who is aware of an elder who glaringly violates one or more of these qualifications?
Often churches choose pastors like Americans choose political leaders: personal charisma, good looks, dynamic vision, etc. How can we avoid this tendency to insure godly leadership?
Should a pastor with an unbelieving, rebellious child (or children) leave the ministry? Why/why not?
