Eldership = Mentoring
Famous Chicago pastor. Reminding us of true eldership. I wonder if he realizes the simplicity of older (elder) Christians being obligated for the welfare of the young.
Not to mention the rewards - double blessings - which come back to us in this life. Did you hear his comment about this?
We hear a lot these days about mentors and life coaches and therapists. The city of Atlanta, for example, has the reputation of having a "Christian counselor on every corner."
That aside, we are thrilled to see Christians reclaiming the streets in God's world. And we are always looking for commonality with other believers wherever we can find it.
Biblical eldership is so simple.... only a theologian could miss it. Unfortunately, theologians control the seminaries and seminaries control what future pastors will believe and teach.
Future generations will be amazed at our ignorance.
