"I know myself to be an unworthy monitor, but a monitor you must have; and it is better for us to hear of our sin and duty from anybody than from nobody." -- Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor
We do not need our shepherds to have degrees in flock management or herd psychology. If the person is beneath you, but their observation sees into you, the reaction cannot be based on their qualification, but on your disqualifying sin. If we are sinning, we need to know about it and it is better to hear about it from someone than no one, from anybody than nobody. We should be so lucky as to have so many interested in our purity.
It's better to be lit up today by someone you think is beneath you than someday by Someone who's definitely above you
