At the National Preacher’s Conference in Cuba, I’ll also be speaking on this verse: “And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.” (Psalms 78:72) I’ll be talking about those two aspects of what church leaders need: skill and integrity.

As I pointed out in yesterday’s post, I’d look at passages on integrity during the elder selection process. But what about skill?

What skills do you think an elder needs? Should we look for a set of men who each provide different skills or are their basic skills that all elders need?

What about deacons? How does their skill set need to differ from that of elders? Or does it?

Thanks for the input. Saves me from having to work. :-)
