This is Pastor appreciation month. And I am aware that there are some on AFF that do not like us Pastors. The way some have posted, the following scripture should read like this .....
Eph 4:11 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, ......Oops ....... and teachers;"
But, may I say that I appreciate all of the Pastors who have been a part of my life. Some I have disagreed with over the years, but I still appreciate what they did give to me.
I am a Pastor, and sincerely love and appreciate my place in the Gospel work and the opportunity to love and serve some of God's children. And to all of the other Pastors on AFF, "thanks for your dedication and sacrifice in serving a congregation as their Pastor."
To all of us, can we take a moment and appreciate the Pastors that are serving each of us, and even if you feel like your "stuck with him" at least appreciate him for those times that he did please you and did in some way help you!
Could we put as much effort in appreciating the Pastors as we have, too often, in putting them down?
Thanks for hearing me out. May God bless all of our Pastors tomorrow as they labor for the Kingdom.
