Professor @DPrentissBarry dismantles the spurious Greek argument heard on the floor advocating for women's ordination at #PCAGA. While proponents of women deacons might want the Greek to support them, it's just not probable. Check out the new content on the @J3PCA website.
Confidence is no substitute for exegesis. A merely possible reading of Rom 16:1 cannot bear the weight of overturning the church’s historic doctrine of male-only ordination. @GPTSeminary Professor David Barry dismantles the grammatical sleight of hand. jude3pca.org/possibility-pro…

"The diaconate is far more than writing checks or ensuring heat in a cold church building. Deacons have a... high calling to be examples and leaders of unity by ministering the grace of our Savior to the congregation through... deeds and... words." opc.org/nh.html?article_id=1…

To bring presbyteries together in their diaconal work, in 2012 the Committee on Diaconal Ministries (CDM) began hosting two-day summits full of instruction, encouragement, and fellowship for members of presbytery diaconal committees (PDCs). opc.org/nh.html?article_id=1…

Tomorrow morning we install new deacons at Church Creek PCA in #charlestonsc. Faithful deacons are essential to the life and service of the church; they care for the needy, allay potential division, and free up ministers of the word to fully carry out their calling (Acts 6:1–7).

It seems that early church deacons were literally Dwight Schrute.
