Christ has established guidance and governance and goodness for his people, through the care of faithful elders.
Faithful church government and church leaders are gifts to us, from Christ himself.
Being a cabin boy on a luxury cruise liner is much better than being the captain of a sinking rowboat.
Being an elder isn’t just an administrative role, overseeing budgets, and programs, and buildings. No, the elder is a pastoral role, to oversee and serve the sheep.
