SERVANT ELDERS
Elders are to be servant leaders, not rulers or dictators. God doesn’t want His people to be used by petty, self-serving tyrants. Servant elders have chosen a life of service on behalf of others. Like the servant Christ, they sacrifice their time and energy for the good of others. Only elders who are loving, humble servants can genuinely manifest the incomparable life of Jesus Christ to their congregations and a watching world. From Biblical Eldership, An Urgent Call to Restore Biblical Church Leadership, by Alexander Strauch, published by Lewis and Roth Publishers, Littleton, Colorado, p. 95, see also the December of 1997 issue of Parables, Etc.: “Team of Climbers”
