One of the problems we are having in our society, which is becoming increasing individualistic, is that we don’t like to have authority figures over us.  We like to be our own boss, make our own way and make our own decisions. And that attitude has infected the church.  And so we don’t like having people in authority over us.  But when we don’t, we are not reflecting the very order that God himself has given us.  In this section of the lecture "Instructions to the Church" Bruce Dick invites you to turn in your Bibles to 1 Timothy 5:17-18 to learn how to appreciate and respect elders of the church.
