Bible Note: Steve, congratulations on being nominated to be a member of the session of your congregation. For what it's worth, I'll predict you'll be elected. I say this from the perspective of having been nominated and elected to the office of elder on two occasions and seem to recall facing no really stiff competition! It is a key office in the church, freighted with enormous responsibility, demanding one's very best efforts, and thus should never be taken lightly. May the Lord be with you so that your execution of the duties of this high office will be in the best interests of the bride of Christ you aspire to serve, thus to honor and glorify Him who gave His life for her. --Hank |
