How true those words are. Thank God for shepherds that work for God's kingdom, not their own.

We can get so discouraged when we see these "pomaded, privileged, powdered, pampered princes of pentecost practicing their pimping, pontificating, pushing, playing and politicking (to borrow some imagery from someone's previous post) that we want to throw up our hands in disgust and give up on all ministers,
but,
remember,
there are lots of the genuine article out there who are genuinely serving the Lord.
