Subject: How do we evaluate a pastor |
Bible Note: Hebrews 13:17 says that pastors will give account to the Lord for their flock. I always think about that passage and wonder if I am treating the instruction of my pastor with that kind of seriousness. In my tradition, and this also seems to be consistent with scriptural injunctions, we say that the pastor has the authority to bind our conscience, but always and only with the Word. Ed, wouldn't the passages in 1 Timothy, 1 Peter, and Titus also be good ways to measure the quality of a pastor? |
