Episode notes
Aim For Unanimity On Major Issues And Use Majority Elsewhere
- Strive for unanimity on deeply consequential elder decisions but use majority rule for less critical matters.
- Panelists describe tabling disputed issues to pray and revisit, and Dever recounts an 8–7 discipline vote that proved providential.
Elders Took A Close 8–7 Vote On Discipline
- Dever recounts a difficult discipline case where elders voted 8–7 to proceed and later felt the decision was right.
- He admits he thought it wrong initially but later saw the Holy Spirit's work and thanked God for the outcome.
Use Preaching To Raise Potential Elders
- Preach faithfully to cultivate men who aspire to eldership; faithful preaching creates spiritual ambitions.
- Mark says the most important thing he does to raise elders is preaching so men hear God's Word and desire the office.
