Principles...#3

Today I was reading in 1 Kings chapter 12 and was reminded of a great principle for ministry. In verse 6 King Rehoboam (Solomon's successor) was seeking wise counsel to rule his people well. He chose to ask the older men who counseled Solomon, but also his young advisers. The older advisers counseled well and the young ones gave foolish advice. Reading this made me think of one of my professor's advice to always have someone older you can go to for advice and accountability. For any ministry it is a life saver in a sense. I thank God that I have had this til now in my spiritual mentor, Steve Vaughan, and another church planter Scott Weatherford. Their advice and insight has been a real gem.
