    “A person who is put in charge as a leader must be faithful. As for me it, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgement on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.” 1 COR 4:2-4 [NLT]
