During the reign of King Solomon, the temple in Jerusalem was built for seven years, and the walls were covered with gold,
Even after worship, God abandoned the temple.

They used bribes to make their own people, and to satisfy their greed with the people.
It is because he threw away the love of the saints as if he had devoted himself to them.
Therefore, the relationship between the church and the leader has the greatest influence on the lives of all believers.
If the leader lives with perfect faith and understands and loves with grace, the whole church will be at peace.

run into danger and crisis.
Therefore, raising elders who are the leaders of the church has a very important influence on the future work of the church.
Because we have it, we must build it up in God's will and grace while we pray.

1. We must long for good works (1 Timothy 3:1).
Elders must devote themselves to the peace of the church and serve

You must also be able to forgo the benefits that come.
2. Everything must be blameless (1 Peter 3:2).
Elders rule their families well with faith, love their neighbors as themselves, and give their children to the descendants of the church’s faith.
They should be examples of faith and have leadership skills to teach them well.
3. Take good care of yourself.
Elders should let go of excessive greed and set an example in understanding, loving, and tolerating one another.
