The next qualification that we consider is household management. The elder must be one who manages his household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity. If he doesn't know how to do this, how will he take care of the church of God? There are many ways to screw up a family and to screw up children. It is quite easy, actually. The elder must be one who has figured out how NOT to do this. On the contrary, he must manage his family well. If the children are rebellious, it generally says something about dad. He is not managing the house well. He can be a poor household manager and be saved; but he cannot be an elder. The reason is that he will simply reproduce the errors of his home life in the church.
