If your pastor walked into your place of business, where he holds no title or experience, and critiqued your work on a weekly basis, how would you view your pastor?
If your pastor held meetings about you and your intentions behind your back, how would you view your pastor?
If your pastor expected you to call him and visit him on a regular basis, or else he would walk out of your life and find another church to pastor, how would you view your pastor?
If your pastor gave you the same measure of grace you give him, how would you view your pastor?
I am concerned that we, the sheep of God's pasture, have made the blessing of being a shepherd unnecessarily difficult. So many of the demands levied within the church against the pastor are found *nowhere* in God's expectations of His under-shepherds (1 Peter 5).
Let's get back to having Scriptural expectations of our pastors.
Be very careful with how you treat your pastor. Let him work under the grace of his God and his calling, not under the yoke of individualistic expectations and ultimatums.
Grace and peace, friends.
