My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.

A few weeks ago, Timothy Witmer, a professor of practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, spoke to 470 pastors about “The Shepherd Leader.” He said …
“Thank God for the privilege of saying, ‘The Lord is my shepherd.’”
“The rod of Moses was not merely the rod of Moses, it was the rod of God. (see Exodus 4:20.)
“Good shepherds build ‘relational capital’ with the sheep. In the providence of God, effectiveness is a function of time together.”
