Biblical Eldership

Over the past year or so I have been working in our church to change the name of our leadership from Deacons to Elders.  During our annual meeting the change was voted down by the congregation.  So, another year or so of talking, explaining, and revealing the scriptural view of some in our congregation (especially those who voted against it) is needed.  When this change will happen, no one can tell.  Perhaps never.  But as the lead sheperd of this flock it is my goal to focus all we do and say as a church on Biblical truth.  If as a leader you find yourself in the same boat as myself or you want to learn more about what an Elder is scripturally then check out here what 9Marks has to say in a great blog posting on Eldership.
