The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.<\/p>\n
The Bible, 1 Timothy 5:17<\/i><\/p>\n
An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Titus 1:6<\/i><\/p>\n
Christians must remember, imitate, obey, and submit to:<\/p>\n
Those elders who have spoken the word of God to them.<\/p>\n
Those elders who have been close enough to consider their Christian lives, and the outcome of their conduct.<\/p>\n
Those elders who rule, i.e. who require obedience of them.<\/p>\n
Those elders who must give an account to God for them.<\/p>\n
