Chuck Smith discusses the various forms of church government as presented in the New Testament, emphasizing the roles of bishops (episkopos) and elders (presbyteros) while critiquing congregational rule. He highlights the importance of having godly leaders who are in touch with God, drawing parallels between church leadership and the theocratic model established in Israel under Moses. Smith warns against the dangers of a pastor becoming a hireling under a board or congregational rule, advocating instead for a structure where the pastor is led by Christ and supported by a board of elders. He stresses the need for true repentance and reliance on God for church leaders, as well as the importance of prayerful decision-making within the church. Ultimately, he presents a vision of church governance that aligns with biblical principles and fosters spiritual growth.
