In a letter from The Conservative Party received not long ago I am reading about Democracy.

“DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE: Where have the true leaders gone?”

I sometimes ask myself the following question:

THE CHURCH IN TROUBLE: Where have the true shepherds gone?

What does the Bible say about shepherds of God’s flock?

“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care,

First Peter 5:2-4

Intr.:

serving as overseers –

1.  not because you must,

but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;

2.  not greedy for money,

but eager to serve;

3.  not lording it over those entrusted to you,

but being examples to the flock.

End:

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.”

Thank the Lord for the shepherds of God’s flock!
