People in leadership must respect and revere God and not take the things of God lightly. They must count the cost of serving God and be aware of the consequences of their deeds. Men of truth. Leaders cannot be liars. This also means that they must be men and women of the Word.
Fellowship is based upon the truth.
Leaders must be true to their word. Men who hate covetousness. The most dangerous person is one who covets somebody else's position. The grace of God will keep you where he leads you, but God has no responsibility to keep you where He has not led you. Do not covet the people in your small group so that you may establish a church with them as your congregation.
