17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward (1 Timothy 5:17-18).
Those that lead and teach well in the church ought not to be silenced and in fact should be followed and their teaching adhered to. For it is by teaching and works that people/leaders are known. And if the things taught are of God, these individuals are making the things of God known as well. Follow a good leader and you will be led to the place where you ought to be. Of course people should not be followed blindly and all things are subject to the rule of God’s word in Holy Scripture. The witness of both scripture and the Spirit therefore testifies about all truth.
