Minister/Shepherd:

“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, meekness” (1 Timothy 6:11). Preachers play a necessary and integral role in the initial development, and ongoing sustainability of the local churches.  It is important that those who would rightfully and scripturally preach in their churches as leaders, know that Paul not only charges Timothy to work in churches where we don’t read of elders and bishops; Timothy worked in churches where there are elders and bishops. He also did not work at the discretion of their hiring policies, but with them as one who legitimately cares for and builds up the people of God.
