1 Timothy 3:1-7
“If church leaders are casual about God and holiness and mission, then the church will fall short in these areas. And countless numbers of people who have never heard the name of Jesus will continue to be unreached with the gospel. On the other hand, if church leaders are passionate about these biblical truths, the church will be strengthened, and, we pray, souls around the world will be transformed by the gospel through the church’s witness. So no matter who you are or how you serve in the body of Christ, church leadership matters.” — David Platt
