The Gospel-Exalting Qualifications For Eldership (Part 6) - 1 Timothy 3:1-7

Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda

An Elder could not be controlled by alcohol, leading to violence and being quarrelsome, or money. In light of 1 Timothy 3:8, if anyone should be dignified (respectable), there are things that should not be true of him. Yes, he should learn to do the things that God called him, but he should also learn how to say no to things that he should not have anything to do with. While the positive virtues that they should develop make them respectable, there are things that will make them unworthy of respect. It will be counterproductive. These are the things that would render whatever virtues they might have built to be worthless. So, yes, there are things that an Elder should be known for, but there are also things that they should never be known for. As important that an aspiring Elder should make every effort to develop the positive virtues, he should also guard himself from being controlled by any thing that makes him ill-fitted for Eldership.

Let us look into the pitfalls that any aspiring Elder should be avoiding.
