By whatever comparison, Paul was certainly one of the most versatile leaders the church has known.
Paul had a brilliant grasp of the Old Testament.
His supreme love for Christ coupled with the obligation to share Christ’s message were his powerful lifetime motives
The selection from 1 Timothy quoted at the head of this chapter spells out qualifications for spiritual leadership.
Social Qualifications
The Leader is to be above Reproach
If a charge is preferred against him, it fails because his life affords no grounds for reproach or indictment of wrongdoing.
An example of a man of this nature is the Prophet Daniel.
The Spiritual leader is to enjoy a good reputation
We cannot hope to lead people to Christ by living an example of contradiction.
When a Christian leader full of high ideals lives a holy and joyful life in front of unbelievers, they often want to cultivate a similar experience.
The character of the elder should command the respect of the unbeliever, inspire his confidence, and arouse his aspiration.
Example is much more potent than precept.
Moral Qualifications
Moral principles common to the Christian life are under constant, subtle attack, and none more so than sexual faithfulness.
Faithfulness to one marriage partner is the biblical norm.
The spiritual leader should be a man of unchallengeable morality.
