There are three things every pastor must do. Among other things, these three key things that transform every bishoprick are:
- To be an example to the saints
- To give attendance to reading, exhortation, and to doctrine
- To stir up every gift in you
1 Timothy 4:12-16 teaches that “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee”
