Elders are important, so the qualifications that decide those men must be taken seriously.
But is it possible that we’ve missed the forest for the trees? While each individual guideline must be measured up against the men that are being considered for eldership, we make the mistake sometimes of missing what type of man Paul really wanted to serve as an elder.

CloseIt seems so simple. When Paul went to Corinth (according to 1 Corinthians 2:2), he said that he wanted to know nothing among them except "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." A bold step for a town that prided itself on their philosophy and intellecutalism. But a closer look at 1 Corinthians shows that at these five words -- if implemented properly -- would have fundamentally changed who they were and eliminated most of their problems. Then as of now, a focus on "Jesus Christ and Him Crucified" is more than enough.
