More on deacons

Words Not Found in Scripture – Deacon

Lew Ayotte posted an excellent study on the word "deacon". Given what a fixture the office of deacon is in much of the church, this is an excellent study of what it does (and does not) say it Scripture. I will leave it to the Greek scholars to decide if the interpretation is correct but it certainly exhibits a great deal of study. You should check it out, especially if you are versed in Greek.

Nick Willborn has done some work in this area. Check out this audio.

Also, in the latest Confesssional Presbyterian Journal Willborn has an article entitled "The Deacon: A Divine Right Office with Divine Uses."
