He also discusses the role of deacons, explaining that they are servants or ministers, not necessarily leaders. Rich examines the qualifications for deacons in 1 Timothy 3 and 1 Peter 5, highlighting the importance of male leadership. He argues that the biblical pattern for church leadership includes a group of elders who rule and a group of deacons who serve. Rich concludes by emphasizing the importance of following the biblical pattern for church government, including the role of elders and deacons, rather than creating new titles or roles that are not explicitly commanded in Scripture. He also provides a list of titles that include the word 'pastor' and suggests that these should be carefully considered in terms of biblical qualifications and roles.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rrsP6cLM03jQqk9kx0xND0tl319k7FwqWlkqnqe7nK8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM1MDUyLzE2NjQ5/NDM3MzUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
