Deacon
-
Person called to serve others in need;
leader in the church
1 Timothy 3:1-16
(NIV) Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart
on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be
above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled,
respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent
but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own
family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. If
anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's
church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and
fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good
reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the
devil's trap. Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere,
not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must
keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They
must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve
as deacons. A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage
his children and his household well. Those who have served well gain an
excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so
that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in
God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and
foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is
great:
He appeared in a body,
was vindicated by the Spirit was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
