Why would you expect more from those in ministry? We're all on this journey together, brother.
Do you think that God works in a more mighty way in the life of a minister than He does in the life of a saint?
I know that you are saying that you shouldn't put the pastor up on a pedestal. But by expecting more of him than you would of yourself or some other saint, you really are.
No wonder saints end up hurt. These men are just as human as anyone else. Trying just as hard. But just as fallible. That's unfair pressure to put on them - expecting more of them than of other saints.
