“The time is coming, the Lord says, “that In every church service I will
cause the men to pray, men who are dedicated to my will, even
the will I have chosen for their lives. And they will lift up their hands in
Prayer, both father and son, without anger or argument but with
pure hearts and clean hands, with true worship in spirit and in truth.”
The Lord is determined to do all of this.
“This is a true saying; if a man is eager to be a leader in his house
and the house of the Lord, he desires an excellent work. He must be
without fault, he must have only one wife, be sober in mind, self-
controlled, and orderly; he must be able to teach, he must not be a
drunkard or a violent man, but gentle and peaceful, he must not be a
lover of money. He must be able to manage his own family well and
make his children obey him with all respect. For a man that does not know
how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church of
God? He must be mature in the faith, so that he will not swell up with
pride and be condemned, as the devil was. He should be a man that is
respected by the people outside the church, so that he will not be
discouraged and fall into the Devil’s trap.”
