This is so true and so important for people to know. Maybe administrative pastors or worship pastors should preach it when the pastor is out of town? Hmmm.... And just in case I haven't said it, I think you're an awesome pastor.

Period. I've seen this happen so often, then when the human side comes out the people are so disillusioned they feel betrayed. He is JUST LIKE YOU, but with more responsibility because God PUT HIM THERE.<BR/><BR/>* Spoil Him rotten if you can. No seriously. You see him eyeballing something you can afford to bless him with? Do it. People don't do it enough. <BR/><BR/>* Learn what true honor is and treat Him with it. Honor and respect go a long way. Without it... well... you both get hurt.<BR/><BR/>* Have his back. Really. If you hear anyone talking smack about him, the church, etc... don't just walk away but defend. Division is division and if you are in his flock, you need to protect him. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Come to think of it... don't just do this for your pastor. Do it for all your friends. But start with your pastor. His day is long enough.Ronni Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676544749545894298noreply@blogger.com
