Some of the posts on this thread remind me of "the accuser of the brethren."

" I will ascend."

Isn't that where rebellion always starts?

I do not believe a person must pastor before he or she can comment on any church matter. But it takes a gritty, God-called person to pastor a church. Cut your pastor some slack.

I had 3 things on my list and I need to add one.

the old list was
1. Love People
2. Call my bishop every day... well maybe not every day, but ALOT!
3. dont take yourself to seriously
4. Love people
