    Do you know?

    The greek for BISHOP (also called ELDER, see Timothy) is EPISCOPOS. It means THE ONE WHO STANDS BY HIS WATCHPLACE, a WATCHMAN, GUARD, INSPECTOR. Bishops or Elders are people who are the watchmen of the congregation. They watch if things are going well, if the sheep are fed and served properly, if the saints are in any need and need help, if an enemy has entered the church and protection is needed, if somebody is lost and needs to be brought back, if somebody is left behind and needs to catch up, ans so on. They are, together with the pastor, the persons who are primarily responsible for the spiritual (and physical) condition of people in their church. They will give account of their work to God. The talents in the known parable...

    Okay! When a person owns a thing they do what they want with it, even if it's to sew together coverings upon all the joints of God's hand to block to word of truth. !JIREH!
