God’s standard

sis. ruby fernandez

main passage

1 timothy 3:1-7

who is sufficient for these things?

what devotion, what discipline, what zeal, fervor, what courage, what faithfulness, what watchfulness over themselves, over their lusts, and passions, and over those under their charge; what holy watchfulness is necessary in this work!

yet let us bless God, and be thankful, on the pastors the Lord has enabled, and counted faithful, putting them into the ministry:
if God is pleased to make any in some degree able and faithful, let God have the praise and glory of it

with Jesus with you, He will fit you for your work in some measure, He will carry you through the difficulties of it with comfort, He will graciously pardon your imperfections, and reward your faithfulness with a crown of glory that will never fade
