I'm young. I'm not familiar with the reference.

Journey: Don't Stop Believing

[UnTraditional]

I wonder if ministers are better than regular believers? Do they think they can have a different biblical standard than the other believers? Absolutely not! But, I have no problem with preachers having their own forum to support one another and build themselves up on the most holy faith.

As a minister, as a believer, I do not ever want to think that I am leading people to believe I am better or of a higher quality than anyone else. If anything, I covet the prayers of the saints, so that I may walk worthy of the calling, and that my feet step no more to the right or left. I want to be right, and know that when I step into the pulpit, I am under greater condemnation for what I preach.

So, when preachers get big headed and think they are better, pray hard and fast for them that God would humble them under the power of His Holy Spirit. But, let us hold up the warriors in the pulpits, whether they be fiberglass, wood, or street corner, and pray God's grace, mercy, and anointing to keep them in all their ways.

Interesting! Paul and Jesus both agreed, if there are any who are great among the believers then let them be the servants of all.
Men of God who have a true calling are under heavy attack from the enemy and need the prayer of the believers. Paul stated that often, to pray for him. When God calls a man to pastor I believe he gives him a special anointing in the area of the love of God. When this is discerned by others then they have a tendency to follow without conflict.

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

I believe the gripe is the hypocrisy. Getting blasted because you don't tow the line of standards and judged for that, then said person breaks a commandment and their peers are "disappointed" in them, but not judged? That's what gets old.

I have sinned. I do not take pleasure in sending others to hell for their behavior. I never want to be a hypocrite.

Exactly!

I am not a minister preacher or pastor, but I thoroughly enjoy all the "Preacher forums" I am a part of. They are most interesting!

Ungodliness is ungodliness regardless of where it is found. Nevertheless, there is one difference: "touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm." Do it if you will but you will also pay a terrible price. But, like a dumb ox led to the slaughter, those that put their hand against God's anointed will not know when they are paying the price unless their heart is humbled and broken with a view of their sin.
