WHAT are their functions? WHAT part do TEACHERS play in the local church? Read about the AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY YEHOVAH God places upon His SHEPHERDS; and learn the surprising truth about local church government and how it eventually became PERVERTED!

The Role of Government in the Local Church

Also I set WATCHMEN over you, saying, "Listen to the sound of the trumpet!" But they said, 'We will NOT listen.' Therefore hear, you nations, and KNOW, O congregation, what is among them...Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people...because they have not heeded My words, NOR MY LAW, but rejected it. -- Jeremiah 6:17-19
