Brutish Pastors Scatter Sheep

[LadyRev]

Jer 3:15 -
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Jer 10:21 -
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

Jer 12:10 -
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Jer 23:1 -
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Jer 23:2 -
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

To me, that is the scariest scripture in the Bible! Pastoring is never easy and sometimes sheep do scatter...this scripture has been highlighted and underlined in my Bible since my Bible College days...it really struck a nerve with me...

These scriptures should be a warning to all those who try to "lord over" God's heritage and thus end up destroying and/or scattering sheep.

The attitude of "if they don't like it, they can leave" is rampant these days. It should not be found among pastors.

I did a double take on your thread title. I thought initially that you had misspelled the word British and was trying to figure out what the British pastors were doing that was scattering the sheep. LOL
