# Servants/Elders Meeting
I wasn't able to take notes so this is just the main points that I remember
You could be the best speaker, the most organized admin, the best of anything, but if you don't love the friends, they won't forgive you.
If you don't love the friends, there is no point in anything.
If we love the friends, even if we make mistakes, even if we aren't perfect, if we love the friends, they will forgive us.

Acts 19: 9 - 9 But when some stubbornly refused to believe, speaking injuriously about The Way before the crowd, he withdrew from them and separated the disciples from them, giving talks daily in the school auditorium of Ty·ranʹnus.

*We seem to struggle with this, don't we?* *Well, we're failing on that one aren't we*

But I thoroughly bore witness both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus."

Just as mechanical systems fail when out of balance, humans can also suffer negative consequences from imbalance. If anything mechanical falls out of balance, then it eventually falls apart. Why would humans be any different? If we fall out of balance, eventually we will fall apart.

### Show Resourcefulness During Economic Hardships ### Show Insight When Facing Economic Difficulties
Philippians 4:12 - "I know how to be low on provisions and how to have an abundance. In everything and in all circumstances I have learned the secret of both how to be full and how to hunger, both how to have an abundance and how to do without." Phillipians 4:12 - 12 I know how to be low on provisions and how to have an abundance. In everything and in all circumstances I have learned the secret of both how to be full and how to hunger, both how to have an abundance and how to do without.
Paul experienced economic difficulties but learned the secret to managing them: contentment. Paul faced economic hardships, but learned the secret on how to deal with it. The secret? Contentment.
Maintaining a simple life supports our joy in the ministry. This is why we need to keep a simple life, it helps us keep our joy in the ministry
### Have a Good Spiritual Routine
What can help us not to neglect our spiritual routine?
Add study to our regular routine/schedule
2 Tim 4:9,13, 21 - 9 Do your utmost to come to me shortly. 13 When you come, bring the cloak I left at Troʹas with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments. 21 Do your utmost to arrive before winter. Eu·buʹlus sends you his greetings, and so do Puʹdens and Liʹnus and Clauʹdi·a and all the brothers.
It was cold, and he also wanted his personal study notes. He really wanted timiothy to arrive quickly, for it was cold.
SIDE NOTE: 2 Tim 4:14 study note
### Cultivate a Strong Spiritual Routine
What can help us maintain our spiritual routine?
Integrate study into our regular schedule.
2 Timothy 4:9, 13, 21 - "Do your utmost to come to me shortly. [...] When you come, bring the cloak I left at Troʹas with Carʹpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments. [...] Do your utmost to arrive before winter. Euʹbu·lus sends you his greetings, and so do Puʹdens and Liʹnus and Clauʹdi·a and all the brothers."
Paul's request for his cloak and scrolls highlights his desire for study materials and companionship during a difficult time (it was cold, and he wanted Timothy to arrive before winter).
SIDE NOTE: **2 Timothy 4:14**
**Jehovah will repay him:** Paul expresses confidence that God will repay Alexander the coppersmith "according to his deeds." This aligns with many scriptures where Jehovah is described as the one who repays individuals for their actions, good or bad. Examples include Psalm 62:12, which states: "O Jehovah, . . . you repay each one according to his deeds." (See also Psalm 28:1, 4; Proverbs 24:12; Lamentations 3:64.) Paul reiterates this principle at Romans 2:6, saying about God: "He will pay back to each one according to his works." He also quotes Jehovah's words at Deuteronomy 32:35 in Romans 12:19: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay."
