(1Ti 3:10) “And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.” A deacon’s responsibility is in the area of finances – period (Acts Chapter 6). Such a person needs to be well known by the congregation – proved. Also, there is a tendency to put one in office that does not meet the spiritual qualifications. This is to never be. A church’s finances are God’s finances, needing spiritual men who are willing to follow the Spirit of God’s direction.
