Last Spring, I co-taught the Sunday school class “The Beliefs and Practices of Zion PCA” alongside the elders. Our goal was to summarize the major doctrines we hold as a PCA church and how we operate. Near the end of the series, I made a statement that has led to a dozen questions and comments from members, and I believe it makes a good blog post. The statement is “The most important decision a church makes is who you elect as ruling elders.” 

In an age of “failure porn,” we need to look to God’s Word. And one of the most relevant biblical accounts regarding this is the testimony of Joshua’s life.
