Bible Question: I attend a church where I feel called to, my pastor believes that if I want to serve I should do it at the church where I am called. I also attend another bible study outside of my home church where I am being pressured to be officially on leadership. there seems to be some conflict here, does anyone have scriptural advise for me? |
Bible Answer: I forgot to add I think your pastor is probably playing this truth over in his head. Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. While your really not serving two masters in that your working for the kingdom many times pastors in their insecurity view any involvement with another group as problem. This isn't always right and I'm not excusing it, I'm simply stating fact. Once again if your really called to this church you need to resolve this issue. Your pastor may be dead wrong, but unless you can change his mind you need to insure you walk together. EdB |
