The topic of church government doesn't seem spiritually stimulating. We are naturally suspicious of leadership. And we have had bad experiences. Scandals and government overreach may make us wonder if we all wouldn't be better off fending for ourselves. But leadership is important to God. In both testaments he establishes structures of spiritual authority for his people, urges proper submission, and promises rewards for those who respect his plan. And leadership is inescapable. Even the loosest organizations practice some form of government. So churches should insist that their government harmonizes with Scripture's mandate. The church must be "governed by the spiritual order that our Lord has taught us in his Word." We should examine our hearts to see if we are embracing God's vision for church leadership. How we interact with God's government reveals how we submit to God (Rom. 13:1).
