Godly Leadership in Christ’s Church {Belgic Confession, Article 31}
Satan wants congregations that downplay the significance of the election of church leaders, whose leaders fail to influence the church or lead it wrongly, and whose members grumble, quarrel, and fight against their leaders. For the sake of our prosperity and the honor of God, don’t give Satan what he wants. Instead, view God’s officers as gifts and revere his plan for the use of church leaders in cultivating healthy, growing, God-honoring churches.
