    If elders observe that some    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] questionable conduct is retarding[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] a man’s spiritual progress, they[/FONT]

    At times, counsel is needed because    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] of some personality trait. If[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] a brother seems somewhat self sparing,[/FONT]
    ​
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]for example, an elder[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] may find it helpful to point out[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] that Jesus was a zealous Kingdom[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] proclaimer who commissioned[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]his followers to make disciples.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Matt. 28:19, 20; Luke 8:1)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]

    If a    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] brother appears ambitious, an elder[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] might show him how Jesus[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] helped His disciples to see the[/FONT]

    [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
    When counsel is needed, it is good    [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] for the elders to provide it at the[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] earliest opportunity.
