Esteem Your Elders
When Paul wrote in the Thessalonian epistle that we should “esteem” elders, he meant that we should respect them (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13). Unfortunately, all church members and even some preachers do not “esteem” or respect elders. There are perhaps some plausible reasons that some men are not respected as elders. One possible reason being that a man may not be worthy of respect. If a man does not live a Christ-like life, he is not worthy of being “esteemed” as an elder. Jes
