Re: “Just call me pastor, son”.
I’m not big on titles….
Often they seem to be used to show approval or disapproval of a particular individual.
But generally speaking I can take it or leave it. The reason why a young minister might say, “as the brother has stated…” even if it’s his own Father, is to show the brotherhood in the body of Christ. I suppose the same could be said about “pastor”. He is pastor to the whole church including his family. Of course that particular title isn’t used much in scripture, but that’s another thread.
