What precisely does the office of church deacon entail? Is it still as relevant today as it was in former times? How did this office develop? How is the role to be carried out today, particularly by those in Reformed/Calvinist churches? This book is designed to be a practical guide for new and experienced deacons.
The ministry of John the Baptist remains very relevant for our day and age. The forerunner had to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah. He had much work to do, since the people had wandered far from the ways of the Lord.
His ministry still reforms the life of the church and brings true reformation in all areas of life.
