Subject: How many Pastor's are preaching to he lo |
Bible Note: rferg A pastor the same as anybody should be preaching to the lost. But his calling is not that. The Word say in Ephes. 4:11-12 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; A pastors call is to equip the saints to do the work. Have you ever noticed how many people who hear a preacher say, "what do you expect he is a preacher he has to say that." But let a lay person say the same thing and they go, "wow! It must be true." Look in Acts people weren't saved in the church, they were saved outside the church and then were added to the church. We view our commission to go make disciples as we view everything else. We would rather pay someone else to do it for us. So we expect Pastors to go win converts while we watch. God never called any of us to be spectators. Pastors were not called to win converts, they we called to shepherd the flock and teach and equip them to do the work. EdB |
