Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord

When we try to usurp or undermine spiritual authority it is as ridiculous as that navy captain trying to move the obstacle of a lighthouse that was in his path. God has set up spiritual authority, and it is His delegated authority in the Church. He is the one who created it, and has placed government in His church. For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might set in order what remains, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man be above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.
