The Spiritual Quality of Deacons

Take a moment to read 1 Timothy 3:8-13, and you can see that the men who serve as deacons in congregations are great men, godly men with good families. These men can be trusted to make decisions. They can be trusted to manage money. Deacons can be trusted to care for people. They are blameless, proven men – they can be entrusted with many other great responsibilities!

1 Timothy 3:8-13  Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
