A Good Work (New From EBS)

Eldership is a ‘noble task’ or a ‘good work’ (1 Tim 3.1). This book is a good work about the good work. It will bring you face to face with the standards of godliness, vigilance, hard work and effectiveness which the office requires of us day after day after day, not just in church but in other areas of life too. At times it makes for quite uncomfortable reading as it presses these standards upon us, so that we cannot avoid measuring ourselves against them. As the years slip by, don’t leave it too late to spend and be spent in the demands of our high calling.
