Welcome, men, to our prospective elder training blog. I hope that this will be an additional tool for us to be able to use for developing our thoughts on the various topics we will wrestle with this year. This will give you a forum to begin thinking about hte topic with others before we meet, but also a place to continue the discussion as you think of things after we meet as well. Please post as often as you like. Your participation is what will make this worthwhile.
The name for this blog is taken from Ephesians 4:11-16. God gives gifted people to His church to build up the body, equip the saints for ministry, and that we may all arrive at mature manhood. The result of this is a body that, when each member is working properly, builds itself up in love. That is our goal -- to attain the measure of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-16
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
