For when one says, “I follow Paul,†and another, “I follow Apollos,†are you not being merely human?
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

Thanks for your permission. It means a lot to me.
1 Timothy 5:17
"Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine."
Don't really keep up a lot with HAC or IFBdom, but thought an observation from my secular university might be relevant here in light of the idea that universities think having Phds makes them look better: my university went over 100 years with only 3 band directors. None of them had a doctorate. All 3, however, built a powerhouse of a band program, band director degree program and became fairly famous in the south for being among the best in the business. 4 years ago, they hired their first PhD band director who destroyed the program, stayed 3 years and then left band directing altogether. It's been a year. The University has been through two sets of finalists and there is rumor that once again, the finalist they are interested in might not be interested in them, creating a second failed search. All that to say this: I'm not, personally, convinced that having a doctorate (even if legitimately earned at an accredited college) is really all that impressive. I wish, personally, that universities would hire people not based solely on the letters by their name, but also based on the accomplishments they have achieved professionally.
