I think the word "rule" is fine provided it's shaped by Christ's command to be servant-leaders, and not the kind who "lord it over" the people. It's similar to the "rule" granted to a man for the sake of his household (lead, protect, provide), or to an under-shepherd granted by the Chief Shepherd. But there is true authority there...elders will "give an account," we have responsibility, and with that responsibility comes a certain kind of ministerial authority. 🤙🏻
