Within religious circles there are many different views of what a deacon’s role should be. Some see the role of a deacon as a stepping stone on the way to being a member of another ministry. (Pastor, Missionary ect.) There are those that view the role of deacons as a governing board over the affairs of the church. I’ve met some deacons who viewed their role as being “checks and balances” on the Pastor. In the eyes of others, the role of the deacon is simply just a title with no function. There are even those who deny that the role of a deacon within the realm of the church even exists. Why are there such varied views on the role of a deacon? Could it be that some are viewing the role of the deacon through tradition, rather than the truth of the Word of God? Let us seek to understand the role of the deacon through biblical bifocals, “Rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
