Highest Office


















A very special thanks to Kasey Vessel for bringing up this subject. Her father was nominated to become an elder in their local church.

Guess what is the highest office in our land?

It is not the President of the United States.
It is not being recognized the richest man in the world (Forbes).

Read on:

"James A. Garfield was the twentieth president of the United States, serving less than four months before he was assassinated. He was a member of the church and served as an elder. When Garfield relinquished his role as elder, it is said that he stated,

I resign the highest office in the land to become president of the United States.

Serving as an elder in Christ’s church is the highest position a man can attain on this earth."

Awesome, huh? And, Amen!
