Bible Question:
First, let me give some back about me I have been raised in the Church of Christ, so with that I come with a heavy heart and seek advice of where to find answers on the "authority of elders" in the church. I have read I Timothy and I Peter and other various versus trying to understand this matter. The church I currently attend has elders that are "lording" over the congregation. They have been caught in lies, and other behavior that is unscpritural. The congregation is facing a split and is being torn apart. We have asked them to step down as elders to save from having a split they openly refuse. They beleive they have not done anything wrong. This so heart breaking. Any help or advice on materials that I could read would be greatly appreicated. lilbits |
Bible Answer: Recommendation........... Hello lilbits, Coming from a Plymouth Brethren background, I can understand your church structure with the inherent strengths and weaknesses. The best book I've seen on the subject of elders is "Biblical Eldership" by Alex Strauch. I have other suggestions as well, but I don't want to fill up the forum's database. Feel free to contact me at srbricker@hotmail.com. Steve |
