Accusation or Observation


People of faith are hesitant to critique church leadership (preachers, elders and deacons) and I suppose the hesitancy comes from Paul’s admonition, “Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses” (1 Tim 5:19 NIV). There is a huge difference between accusation and observation and I can’t help but wish that Paul would have given us a better understanding of what he means by accusation.
