Qualities of Elders 1 Timothy 3:7

Good Testimony Good: KALON Testimony: MARTURION – witness (Mk 14:55), martyr, testimony (Jn 1:19) “Good reputation” – NASB; NIV; “Well thought of” – ESV “Good report” – KJV; “Good testimony” - ASV An elder must be well thought of by those who are members of the church, but also of those outside of the church Does this mean all will speak well of him? – Luke 6:26 Who would you ask about this man? Coworkers? Neighbors?

Why is it important to have a good reputation? Not having a good reputation would cause reproach. The devil is waiting with a snare He would love to humiliate and elder of the Lord’s church Should we rush to appoint elders? Why would it be important to take your time? Is it easier to get a man “in” or “out” of an eldership?
