Excellent post!
Yes some pastors have an ego problem, like many other
humans, and believe that they ARE "God" for those sheep under his guidance., that is when it becomes problematic, even injurious for impressionable and vulnerable 'lambs', but for the most part the ones I've known are doing well, it can be a most stressful position (at times) I'm sure and it takes a strong man to handle whatever comes his way, but with GOD, all things are possible!
I believe that those TRULY called of GOD will turn out to be great blessings for the world., some that are merely
'appointed' as in 'succession' (which sounds more secular)
may have some difficulties in adapting.
Either way, it is NOT "christian" to ever put down the men that are 'trying' their best to serve GOD first., they are
certainly not perfect, although there will always be those whom expect that., and I say '
shame on
them'.
