I'd give about anything for a good elder or two in my life. Recently I've been participating in some meetings with other local ministry types in which I'm typically the youngest one present (35). These experiences combined with where I am in life have made me desperately hungry for something like an elder. There are times when I don't want to talk to anymore peers or young radicals. (frequent these days) I need wisdom!! Having said that, an elder, from a biblical perspective, is not merely an old person. Age is not even the main ingredient. Let's steer clear of arrogance and make sure we are being equipped to serve in that ministry ourselves, by God's good grace.
