In my dealings with shepherds (and frustrations), I have come to understand this very thing. Too many elderships are filled with \"biblically\" qualified men who are inept in many areas of leadership and/or spiritual maturity. The 7 skills mentioned in your blog parallel the desires of so many fellow ministers who earnestly seek to work with these types of elderships. The only way for this sharpening of the irons however is to be humble enough to allow it. Terrific article Tim.

So much of being a powerful, Spirit-led team is learning to manage the tensions, not simply avoid them or pick winners and losers. We are a group of very different people who are being unified in humility and faith to carry out something we could NEVER do on our own. God leads us to not simply add together our talents but multiply them into something beyond simple addition. Thanks brother. What a powerful, helpful, insightful article Tim!

]]> Comment on Good News! by glen gray http://timwoodroof.com/2011/05/02/good-news/comment-page-1/#comment-11748 glen gray Mon, 02 May 2011 15:13:26 +0000 http://timwoodroof.com/?p=2654#comment-11748 Hi Tim, Been \"off-line\" since Wednesday. Power came back on last night at 6:15. Reason: the storms. Bad news! Now I am back on line, have lights and air-conditioning, and TV(?). Good news! Of course, I think the article is great. The only question is the statement about the curve in grades. Leans toward devaluing the good news. No you didn\'t mean that and I took it as a positive illustration. Might use something different. This is a needed emphasis for saints. Too many have presented the good news as bad news. Just talked about this yesterday (Sunday) with a preacher friend who went to Honduras in February. The preachers there are confrontational in their evangelistic approach. They immediately want to compare the differences of religion rather than sharing the good news of Christ. We are planning to hold a seminar for them in order to get them back on a proper attitude and direction. Their attitude now has been fostered by churches (preachers) from the U.S. Any way, what I am saying is this information is needed. Glen Hi Tim,

Keep allowing God to use you like a pen in HIS hand. Great thoughts, I can certainly remember the many times in my sin hobbled life that Father brought me good news.

One near to me who lives in Nashville has neard from pulpits here in Johnson City, TN, and Jacksonville, FL, that she has no place in heaven because of her same gender attraction. Imagine how this feels to one who has accepted Jesus, repented, been baptized and trying to live in a relationship with her Savior daily. Or, how inviting does this sound to one who seeks to join in a community of Christians. Those of us who damn others miss what Paul said in Romans 2:1-2. All of us have fallen and will not enter the kingdom without the grace which Jesus provides. We are so pious and sure of our own freedom from sin and yet display our fallen state by failing to provide for this same grace to others. Woe to us. Thanks so much for your guidance. May I share this column with my students?
