The Women must be Likewise (1 Timothy 3:11)
Don Johnson, July 25, 2010
Part of the 1 Timothy series, preached at a Sun PM service
In this message we look at a verse that is somewhat controversial in today's society and is also somewhat ambiguous and hard to interpret. The question is whether Paul is addressing the wives of deacons or the office of deaconness. Or is something else in view? We attempt an answer and insist that there is no third office of deaconness in the church. We also point to the need for women in spiritual leadership in the church to be spiritually minded people from the qualifications given in this list.

1 Timothy 3:11
11 Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. (ESV)
