       Good order is necessary for success; that seems so obvious. Yet, people often go against order and still try to be successful. It seems so unreasonable to try that and yet people do it. They do it all the time. Yet, what Epaphras has laid out for his group of believers (remember Epaphras was the founder of the church), what he has laid out, which could have come from Paul’s ministry, for we aren’t really sure, but wherever he originally got his information, his church order information, the church seems to be headed down a good path. And Paul desires to see this. It’s what every minister of a church desire to see—good order among the members. That that which is being taught is actually being followed. That lives are being helped. That they are being improved. That there is a closer relationship with God among each of the members. This is what the minister wants. This is certainly what Paul, Timothy, and Epaphras wanted.
