Bible Answer: Welcome to the Forum DannyKidd! May I ask why you want to be a Deacon? Biblically Acts 6:1 thru 6 Deacons was a servants position of waiting on tables! I believe the Daecons are rnsible for three tables. The Lords Table. The Pastor's and his families table. Finally the poor in their community. I am aware that some churches use Trustees and Deacons. Which is ok but in my opinion not exactly correct. I believe scripture teaches Deacons, Elders, Pastor or Bishop. Most Deacons serve out of a feeling of getting respect and authority. I believe it is a position of serving, and the gift of service is needed. Man or churches man ordain you, but it is God who knows if you are truely a Deacon, Servant at heart. If your home life is not in order, in order I mean where Love is, and you and your wife are a team, then stop at once! Is your lifestyle in your community looked up upon? If not stop now! If your relationship withChrist is not one of walking in faith, which not to many are, get out Now! Ordination is quite serious, I would not wish this burden of service upon anyone, unless they are totally comitted to Christ, and know they are called. I hope you consider what I have said very carefully. agape, justme |
