Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 3:8)  “Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;”  I draw your attention to the fact that these must be men who are convinced that the work of Christ is through the church. They are grave towards reaching of the lost. They are true in their communication (they don’t say one thing and do another). And they put the work of Christ even above physical gain! Brother/sister, one must work in order to meet the needs of self and others, but the work of the Church is the reason you are here upon this earth. Souls come first and foremost above all other things.
