Perfecting and equipping them to work in the ministry and build up the body of Christ. It's like a cycle. Someone helped build you up and equipped you, so that you can build up and equip others.
I know what I was taught. That the ministry is better and more spiritual and therefore above us poor schlubs. But I believe that the same God that sames there is no slave or free, male female, greek or jew, did not intend us to create our own hierachy. Don't you see the whole catholic connection?
I just realized that I was only a few steps away from referring to Pastors as mini-popes. But I am no PT I assure you! I do not think that it would be appropriate for someone wearing a tube top and hotpants to sing on the platform!
