It's easy for any of us to forget that order, and indeed, we often times do. <br /><br />That seems also to be in concord with Paul's order of thinking in 1 Tim. 3:5, where the ruling of one's own household comes first, then caring for the church of God.

As I walked out, looking around, I quickly realized how priggish I am. Thanks for the reality check. <br />It also reminds me of Chemnitz, "Sixth. Since no one is of himself fit and sufficient for so great and arduous an office (2 Cor 2:16; 3:5), and no one can successfully sow in the church unless divine blessing be added (1 Cor 3:6), therefore let the minister of the Word earnestly and ardently pray, and in united prayers with the church diligently commit both himself and his ministry as well as the whole church to God."
