Elders (Pastor/Overseer)
They are told to shepherd the flock of God. The main job of a shepherd is to feed (teach). They are also to protect sheep.
How are they to shepherd?
Not by compulsion but willingly (avoid laziness)
Not for dishonest gain but eagerly (not overly concerned about money)
Nor as being lords over those entrusted to you (avoid demagoguery)
But being examples to the flock
Attitudes of Christians
--Submit
--Humility
--Trust God
Younger people should submit to elders. All should submit to one another and be clothed in humility. God resist the proud, gives grace to the humble. Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.
