Archibald Allison introduces the Biblical qualifications of ruling elders. Archibald is pastor of Emmaus OPC in Fort Collins, CO.
His 1994 article in Ordained Servant (Vol 3, No.4. pages 80-96) is available here.
That article, combined with a subsequent article on qualifications for deacons, is also available as a free CCE ebook here.
Over the next several issues of the ruling elder podcast several men will outline the Biblical qualifications for elders.
Sinclair Ferguson’s comments about the Fruit of the Spirit in proper proportion can be found on Things Unseen here.
