It is the way of the world to impose its will upon the church and try to make Gods people conform to its ways. This should never be the case with Gods church. Christians should never wet their fingers, stick them into the air, and see which way the secular wind is blowing so as to appease those outside its doors. Rather, its job is to speak the truth no matter what the world says. We are to do it with gentleness (1 Pet. 3:15), but we are to defend the truth--not compromise its teachings. And, in this case, God has said what he has said. Let his word stand and may those who contradict it answer to God. The deacon is to be a man of dignity (1 Tim. 3:8) just as Paul has stated is the case in the operation of the household of God (1 Tim. 3:15). - Matt Slick (President and Founder of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.)
