Hi Gunny,
Not sure I like this list. It seems to put too much dependence upon the man, and not on Christ. In other words, it seems to be a man-centered list, and not a God-centered list.
I look at it as a list where, if one always remembers the dependence is solely on Christ, these things make sense. Character, for instance, seems to be of utmost importance to Mr. Wiersbe (it is to me, too)....hopefully, a Pastor will be a man of character, able to submit himself, to be the things on this list, with the help of Christ. Does that make sense?
