1 Timothy 3:8
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued not given to
much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre.
Continuing our discussions on Christ's church leaders and helpers;
today's focus is deacons and tomorrow's focus discussion is trustees, which
will conclude our discussions church leaders. The intent of these discussions
was to focus on the moral fiber of our church leaders and helpers as they are
to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
From our scripture text the qualifications for bishops/pastors and
deacons are similar as both are to be of moral character, devoted to God in
faith and righteous living as well as being faithful to one's spouse. In doing
so, they set righteous standards for the congregation manifesting the righteousness
of Christ our Lord and Savior.
It is worth noting that a strong deacon board that is Holy Ghost filled
is a church where praise and worship reverberates throughout the congregation.
The church is the bride of Christ and is to be without blemish;
therefore, its leaders and laity are to walk in the light of Christ manifesting
His righteousness. Upon Christ's return it will be for the pure church one that
remained faithful to Him.
Deacons, as you wear the righteousness of Christ you are to setting
godly, because you maybe the only Bible someone in your congregation is
reading.
