Say no to certain needs if our priorities require us elsewhere

Do not compromise on truth, on God’s word, etc.

Make decisions based on standards of God’s word and direction of the Holy Spirit, not what will please others or how much difficulty you will encounter.

Avoid competition with other household heads, units, and leaders.

Be open to brethren for scrutiny and correction (especially to your Unit Head).

ministry

The value of being a good example

Good “masters” generally form good disciples

Verbal instruction alone is inadequate. It must be accompanied by active good example.

the household leaders ought to commit themselves with special determination to forming their members according to the life of Christ. Lead them to imitate the Lord in every aspect of their lives.
