Some believers have been encouraged greatly by church leadership, while others have been hurt in their spiritual journey. This is why looking at church leadership in Scripture, is extremely crucial. If we are casual about God’s standards for leaders in the church, everyone suffers and the Gospel itself is hindered. On the other hand, if we take God’s standards and charge for church leaders seriously, trusting God’s wisdom above our own, the church will be strengthened, and the Gospel will go forth.
