The church has always been under attack. One of the most effective ways to weaken God’s work is to demolish its leadership, as Nehemiah’s enemies attempted to do (Nehemiah 6:1-9). In the same way, Paul said that elders in the church need protection. It is very easy for accusations to be made against them, especially when the leader stands in the way of somebody’s personal or spiritual agenda. The most obvious example was when Jesus was falsely accused and put to death. Likewise Stephen, who told the truth but angered the judges who then murdered him (Acts 7:51-60).
