Wise deacons

The first deacons (Acts 6) were selected by virtue of their being filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom. This was greatly needed in their providing caring for the poor, sick, elderly, widow, orphan, handicapped, etc.  Deacons, today as well, need to exibit these gifts as they reach out to similar people groups, and also, as they delegate areas of service such as worship management, ushering and greeting, care of the building and property, visitation, church finances, and fellowship. Deacons can use their time wisely by giving ministry away and allowing others to serve in a God-honoring manner.
