Real Deacons are very precious. Although they are first called “Deacons” in the New Testament the Ministry of Deacons goes back into the life of the Temple in the Old Testament. Deacons were never meant to be “do as I please” people, they are supposed to have specific functions which they willingly do as obedience to the Lord. Deacons should never be man appointed but rather they should be God appointed.
