Personal Disciplines Evaluation
Learning to be an elder is to learn the meaning of these words and put them into
practice in his everyday church life. Each elder is called upon by God to be a
"watchman" over his flock, the people entrusted to his care. That duty
necessitates mastery of the task as Paul exhorted. Let each elder begin his
stewardship by determining to add to his faith the virtues and disciplines
necessary to the task. Using these biblical instructions as our guide we would
have to conclude that the duty of an elder is to personal holiness, prayer,
people, and proclamation of the word.
