1 | Conflict between business and pastor | 2 Thess 3:8 | jlhetrick | 182701 | ||
Hello Brian, Your question can only be answered out of personal opinion, I don't think you can qualify your position at all with scripture. Some are capable of much more than others. Some have the energy, drive, motivation, focus, and discipline to accomplish more in a day than some might in two or three days. If you know of a man who is both pastoring a church and running a full-time business you might have a good opportunity to serve the Lord through stepping up and doing more to support him. Perhaps you already do that but if not you might consider it. I would be willing to bet that he would be greatly appreciative. From personal experience and what I have heard from others, I'm sure this pastor would appreciate being relieved of many duties so that he can do those he is called to more efficiently. If he's in the same position as many other pastors, he's doing his work at the church and 80 percent of the work the rest of the church should be doing. A conflict of interest? Jeff |

2 | Conflict between business and pastor | 2 Thess 3:8 | Brian#9 | 182709 | ||
Thank you Jeff, Yes you are right. The reason for the question was due to my holding two jobs working 80 hours over a seven day period for a while. Both pastoring and running a business are over 40 hour jobs. You are right "conflict of interest" wrong words. What I meant was that one or the other would suffer. Both are primary, making one secondary would make it suffer. How do you decide which one? No, I do not know of a Pastor that runs a full time business. I will look into the pastor relief. There might be something this cripple can do.Thank you!!! In His Hand, Brian |
