Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 5:17)  “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” The context tells us this is not speaking of an older man, but of the position of pastor (Titus 1:5,7). “Rule”: the church is not a democracy but to be guided by the pastor who is submitting to the Word of God – period; no debate.
