Look at the qualifications that Paul gives for an overseer: "It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), and NOT A NEW CONVERT, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil." --1 Timothy 3:1-6 New converts should not be elders. Sounds like a great number of your church's problems come from not obeying God regarding leadership in the church. --Joe! |

Joe: I believe you have got the point A- there is one on Board that don't have living wife and he is a new conv. I am agreeing that this is the problem also. When he came across the scripture about the one wife..(quote he said I don't see any of you coming in here with 2 wifes. and that was a cover up. It was did in that matter. Oh, well. Pray for us and the Leadership and let God..move.his way. In christ..Joe( think you are right) Thanks.Mae65 | ||||||
