"To expect people to act in a 'good and godly' way when they have not been taught what a good and godly lifestyle encompasses is difficult. Often people come into [an ecclesia] knowing what specific behaviors in their lives are ungodly, but they are never taught godly behaviors which can replace those ungodly ones. It has been proven countless times that the best way to teach a person a skill is to model that skill and then allow him to try it himself. Living a victoriously godly life is no different, and Paul's challenge to the men and women of the [ecclesias] in Crete survives to challenge men and women in [ecclesias] across the globe today. If there is to be a new generation of men and women to rise up and actively to pursue righteousness and holiness in their daily lives, elder men and women must answer God's call to model lives of righteousness and holiness and in turn encourage those coming behind them to come alongside and learn the ways of an actively good and Christ-like life."
