Role of an Elder
I came across this, and thought it was one of the better descriptions I've seen of the role of an elder in the church: Ray Stedman put it this way (Discovery Paper 3500, “A Pastor’s Authority”), “The task of the elders is not to run the church themselves, but to determine how the Lord in their midst...

Re: POLL: Relating to Power: The Christian and Politics
#1 - I didn't go for #2 because I am not sure what "speaking prophetically" means. I agree with what Ken said: I believe it is appropriate for Christians today to follow the example of Christ and the Apostles in preaching about relevant issues, but I really don't see any NT precedent for t...

Bible Memorization (Children)
What are the benefits of Bible memorization for children? It's a fairly strong emphasis I grew up with in Christian school, and I still remember a fair amount of the passages we learned.
