The Deacons Must Get Paid

By Phillip Bryant

He read and studied the Holy Bible, and he used to think that other ministers and deacons did the same thing, read and study. He has found that people, the ones in the Christian faith, go on and live on what they hear others say. Their whole believe system is based on what somebody else says. There are some that read the Holy Bible and cannot get an understanding of what they are reading. Some read just to prove a point and some just to point a finger. Everything that people need to live by is in the Holy Bible. It gives exact meaning on how we are to live. When there is not an exact meaning, there is always an example to follow. Too many of the pastors do not know where to start to teach the people. For close to two thousand years, the believers have been in a New Testament church. It would behoove every member in the church to learn and know what is in The New Testament and learn the New Testament first, get the knowledge and understanding of who Jesus the Christ is; and in all honesty, try and live a life to show that He lives in the person. We in the church, do have a doctrine to live by from God. To many churches make-up their own doctrine and by-laws, and sooner or later, they are going to fall apart. What we all are suppose to know is that, The Word of God lasts forever. His prayer and desire is for all to get the knowledge and understanding and try real hard to live by the Holy Word of God.

Chapter 1:

The Deacons Must Get Paid

The deacons collect the money, the deacons pray over the money, the deacons count the money, the deacons deposit the money, and the deacons write a check to the pastor. The deacon will do this for twenty, thirty, or more years until the deacons figure out that they are ordained for a service just as the pastor is ordained for a service. When that takes place in their minds, that is, when the deacons will feel inferior and have the feeling that they have been used up and not benefitted in and from the total ministry just as the pastor has benefitted.

The deacons were put in the church, just as the pastors, to do a duty in the church just as the pastors were put in the church for a certain duty to do for the spreading of the gospel. This duty that was put on the deacons in the church was a manager position for the people that were already saved. Whether saved or not saved, the main job of the deacons was and is to manage the people and the physical plant and the finance for the congregation and of the congregation.

The minister that has been ordained has been put in the church for the benefit of spiritual growth in the knowledge and understanding of the Holy Word of God. There is one way and many ways to do what the ordained minister has been put in position to do. He is to edify the whole church. God put the minister, pastor, bishop, or leader in the church for the main purpose of spreading the gospel to the unsaved and to feed the minds, soul, and spirits of the saved with the Holy Word for and with understanding. That is such a tremendous job for any one person and one person cannot do that job at all. One person can make a difference in the ministry of a (the) church. As the manager or president of any big company, they must have an army of people to get the job done.

In the church the job is the same, it takes people to get the church moving in the direction in which it was commissioned. That is why the only two positions in the church where the men are ordained are the ministers and the deacons. The pastor in a church (local church) is not the head and the deacons are the tail. Matt 28:19 states "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" God, the Holy Father through Jesus the Christ, has established the New Testament Church with a full-headed driving force to attack the infidel and heathen mentality of the world with two horns on the head of the living church. A real bull has two horns on his head that have curved and sharp points anchored in the skull and are very strong. When the church is taught [from the pastors] that the pastor must be paid and the deacons, as you know, well, they work for free. They are servants. This mentality and this kind of teaching (from pastors all over the USA.) take a horn off of the bull’s head. The bull can only charge with one horn and his one horn is not as strong and effective in the world as God has set in motion.

If and when the deacons are paid just as the pastors, then and only then will the church have two horns and the force of the church will have more power and a bigger impact on the world. Christ’s commission is To teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (In the name of Jesus the Christ).Teach the world what? To observe all things I (Jesus the Christ) have commanded you. Who are you? You are the ministers (Pastors or Bishops and the deacons). Commanded what? Thus, it is written, and thus it behooved Jesus the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should
