These are men who have met the qualifications which
Christ set forth in Titus and I Timothy for elders, and
have been appointed by the Elmore congregation.
Titus 1:5-9
"I left you on the island of Crete so you could complete our work
there and appoint elders in each town as I instructed you. An elder
must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his
children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being
wild or rebellious. For an elder must live a blameless life. He
must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy
drinker, violent, or dishonest with money. Rather, he must enjoy
having guests in his home, and he must love what is good. He must
live wisely and be just. He must live a devout and disciplined life.
He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was
taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome
teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong."
(NLT)
I Timothy 3:1-7
"This is a trustworthy saying: 'If someone aspires to be an elder,
he desires an honorable position.' So an elder must be a man
whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He
must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation.
He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to
teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be
gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his
own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if
a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of
God’s church? An elder must not be a new believer, because he
might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall. So,
people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not
be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap." (NLT)
