TODAYS DAILY TEXT: DECEMBER 29 14 MONDAY Not that we are the masters over your faith, . . . for it is by your faith that you are standing. - 2 Cor. 1: 24. With these words, Paul acknowledged that the brothers in Corinth stood firm, not because of him or any other human, but because of their own faith in God. Hence, Paul saw no need to control the faith of his brothers, and he had no desire to do so. He was confident that they were faithful Christians who wanted to do what was right. ( 2 Cor. 2: 3 ) Today, elders follow Pauls example by expressing confidence in their brothers faith and motives for serving God. ( 2 Thess. 3: 4 ) Rather than making rigid rules for the congregation, elders rely on Scriptural principles and direction from Jehovahs organization. After all, present -day elders are not the masters over their brothers faith. - 1 Pet. 5: 2, 3. ( Posted December 29 14 Monday )
