Who's Job is it???!!!

[missourimary]

Why should standards be pounded into someone? Most people will, given time and led right, conform to a standard set by a true leader.

I've seen more people conform due to compliments than condemnation.

What is preached more in a church? How to dress? How to act toward each other? Obedience? Tithes and offerings and give and you'll be blessed financially? That the pastor is the head of the church? That the devil is real and out to get us? That we'd better do what God wants or we'll burn in Hell forever and ever? or...
That God is in control, that He is great and wonderful, we are His sheep and his children, that He will take care of us, and protect and defend us?

Why not stop telling people how to live and show them what living really is??

My question is not who's job it is, but what is our job?

As for the pastor's job... IF he is the head of the local church as is commonly purported by some, the head is still NOTHING without the body, and can do NOTHING on its own. A lot of leaders would do well to remember that. A good head doesn't beat up its body and downgrad its responsibilities while praising itself.
