ISN’T IT STRANGE

James P. Needham

When one wants to know what the work of preachers, elders and teachers is, one can easily cite numerous passages which give the answer. (II Timothy 4:1-6, I Peter 5:2, Acts 20:28, Titus 2:1-8, etc.)  When one wants to know the function of youth directors, recreation directors, chairmen, superintendents, coordinators, arch-bishops, or popes, no scripture can be cited.  Yet these positions exist in various churches.  Now, isn’t that strange?  “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God….” (I Peter 4:11)
