The elders of the church are placed there by Christ and described in the New Testament. In a previous A Plain Answer broadcast, we talked about Jesus being our King. At that time we talked about Jesus visibly governing His church through the officers which He gives to the church. A listener asked the question of how can people be disciplined by imperfect humans, and especially if the one doing the disciplining has hidden sins greater then the person being disciplined? We talk about discipline that is insensitive and not according to the Scriptures. Our view of Christ's kingship is conditioned by the Scriptures in which Jesus is meek and lowly of heart and bids people to come unto Him that they might have life. Participants: Rev. Bill Shishko, Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
