Qualifications for a Deacon Part 2

1Tim 3:9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

It is not that there is some hidden mystery to the Christian faith. Rather the Christian faith is a mystery revealed - "the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints." Col 1:26 But to declare that mystery with a clear conscience we must walk consistently with it, with an application oriented mindset and free from hypocrisy.

Today you might consider whether you feel right in your conscience with respect to what you've been doing with the mystery of Christ.

Qualifications for a Deacon Part 3

1Tim 3:10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.

As with any position of responsibility whether spiritual or secular the person must show themselves qualified. Such is the case in the kingdom of God now. And such is even the case in the coming Kingdom, as the parable of the minas indicates http://www.bcbsr.com/survey/pbl40.html

Your Christian life is a test. How well you do will determine what position of service you will hold in God's coming Kingdom. "Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless." 2Peter 3:14
