QUALIFICATIONS OF ELDERS AND DEACONS 1 TIM 3:1-13

QUOTE Members of a congregation’s board of elders are not assistant pastors. They assist their Pastor… Through the senior pastor, elders establish a caring link with each person on the professional staff, whether assistant pastor, Director of Christian Education, Evangelism… But even more important, elders facilitate and strengthen the working relationship of the church staff. (Victor Constien, The Caring Elder, p. 10)

1 TIMOTHY 1:3 (HCSB) 3 As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach different doctrine

1 TIMOTHY 3:14-15 (HCSB) 14 I write these things to you, hoping to come to you soon. 15 But if I should be delayed, I have written so that you will know how people ought to act in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

QUOTE The true spiritual leader is concerned infinitely more with the service he can render God and his fellowmen than with the benefits and pleasures he can extract from life. He aims to put more into life than he takes out of it.. (J. Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Leadership, p. 20)
