Honored to Serve

1 Timothy 3

8
Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11 Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Today Jeff was appointed to serve as a deacon for the congregation with which we worship. I post this, not in a boastful way, but as a marker of a very special time in our lives. I am privileged to be the wife of such a wonderful man and look forward to serving God by his side for the rest of our lives.

This preacher could really help your husband with what he is about to face.
It's not easy being a pastor or a wife of a pastor or deacon.
They don't tell you so many things,
especially in seminary.

here is Paul Washer.
