Many small congregations of the Lord's church do not have qualified men to become elders. We are in a congregation that has 3 deacon but no elders due to a death of one elder. Are we scriptural in maintaining the deacons?
I'm so sorry to hear about the death of one of your elders - that's certainly a sad time. I've never thought about that question before, I'll have to give it some thought and study before offering you a biblical answer.
Excellent article.
