Dear Sovereign Redeemer and other friends,

In March 2018, the NCFIC hosted a conference in Montgomery, AL, where I gave a message entitled “The Family Life of an Elder”.

I try not to be star-struck, but this was a thrill for me, because Alexander Strauch was also speaking, and I believe he has produced and is producing the most helpful resources for local church elders and deacons.

It was also a very sobering message to give, because every right-thinking elder has an acute sense of his imperfections as a husband and a father. 

I think the punchline is summed up in this line from the message:

“There is no biblical or rational basis for believing that a man will be a better elder than he is a husband or a father.”

This is a shorter message, lasting 30 minutes in length:
