Church

God knew this would be an often thankless and frequently criticized role, so He mandated that these men be ones who are “elder” (mature) and have already seen their children grow to embrace the faith in which they are trying to shepherd others. He was right.

If the name of the church you belong to cannot be found in the Bible, then doesn’t it stand to reason that you should find a church that does wear the right name, and then become a member of it?

As physical bodies have many diverse parts, the church is made up of many diverse people. In both there is diversity of function among all the parts of the body. Those diverse parts work together to fulfill the purpose of the head.
