Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 5:19)“Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.”  Context: this is a pastor. Remember, Timothy is a missionary over various churches started by himself and Paul. In other words, he had the authority to act,  (1Ti 5:20) “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”  How does this apply to us? Answer: be very careful standing against a pastor. Be absolutely sure of the accusations of others. The man is God’s anointed, called to minister the Gospel.
