Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 3:11)  “Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.” When it comes to pastors and deacons, their wives also have to be considered. Why?  Husbands and wives are of one spirit as well as body before the Lord. We get this truth from Malachi where God says He hates the breaking of the covenant of marriage: (Mal_2:15) “And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.”
