Assembly of God Ordination:
Shepherding the Church by Joseph M.
Stowell

According to the author, what are at least 4 elements to the substance of love that are
relevant to leadership? - ANS-1. Choice = A shepherd's love is a choice, not a feeling. (Page
182)

2. Direction = Biblical love has a direction to it, a distinct outward focus. (Page 183)

3. Feltness = the flock feels cared for. (Page 185)

4. Function = Loving as an expression of a choice to meet the felt needs of all the flock
requires that we function as a servant to the sheep. (Page 186)
According to the author, what is the most important thing to remember about illustrations? -
ANS-The most important thing to remember about illustrations is that they must clearly focus
on the point we are making. (Page 302)
Effective biblical leadership always begins with what? - ANS-Effective biblical leadership
always begins with the nonnegotiated commitment to followership. Interesting, isn't it, that in
all of our talk about leadership we rarely have any discussion of followership? Yet no leader
can be truly effective until he is first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ.
(Page 129)
For what purpose can God use trials in our lives? List the scripture reference that supports
this - ANS-Last but not least, we need to remember that God will use trials not only to reveal
our weaknesses but also to develop in us the capacity to deal with life, even in its rawest
forms, with faith, confidence, and courage (James 1:1-5).
(Page 250)
George Barna says that the job of the pastor is made even more difficult because of what? -
ANS-Because of the biblical illiteracy of the flock
(page 22)
How is the purity of motives revealed in spiritual leaders - ANS-The purity of our motives is
revealed when, as spiritual leaders, we gladly give others the credit for the effective ministry
that they are carrying out and celebrate those whose gifts are more apparently and
effectively being used. This motive liberates us to rejoice in the success of others, whether
it's within the context of our own flock or in regard to those outside, above, and beyond our
own.
(Page 233-234)
In a day when self-fulfillment has been elevated as the ultimate god, what must we be willing
to do? - ANS-We must be willing to stand unintimidated for biblical correctness when it
crosses swords with political correctness. In a culture where tolerance is the ultimate value,
we are called to clearly and compassionately proclaim righteousness in a way that

, delineates between right and wrong and communicates by its very articulation an intolerance
of that which is evil.

Murmuring (Page 162)

Boasting (Page 164)
Exaggeration (Page 165)

Tolerance (Page 290)
Sensualism (Page 292)

integrity (Page 106)
2. Slothfulness (Page 107)
3. Manipulation (Page 108)
4. Disloyalty (Page 108)

Comparison

(Pages 73-79)
Of the four leadership gifts, which is the most relevant to the pastor (shepherd of the flock)? -
ANS-The fourth gift God has given to church leadership is the person who carries the gift of
pastor/teacher. Of all of the four gifts, this is the most relevant to a resident shepherd of the
flock. The other three gifts may find themselves being carried out in a broader context than
the local church, although it certainly is possible that they may reside as well among a group
