"The reason local churches go liberal and die is because of unqualified or disqualified leadership."

You won’t find a church that is seriously devoted to prayer, if its elders aren’t seriously devoted to prayer. You won’t find a church that faithfully engages in discipleship, if the elders aren’t faithfully engaged in discipleship. Congregations follow their leadership, usually several steps behind, for good or for bad, and that is why there must be biblically qualified elders in every local church.
