Hello my faithful "Christ Seekers." Did you all enjoy your weekend?!! Mine was busy!!!! But I could not wait to write on this topic. Leadership in the church has been causing a lot of discussion lately. With headlines in the news of fallen Pastors and scandals every time you turn around. Believers become discouraged and sinners justify their lifestyle by what is going on in the church and more importantly the lack of solid leadership that is occurring. The definition of a president is the highest executive officer of a modern republic, as the Chief Executive of the United States. His role is to oversee our entire country. He is responsible for our well being as a people and should be leading us correctly by his example. The Pastor is the same for the church.
God states that a godly pastor shares precepts from God’s Word because he desires not only to serve God but to feed the flock the spiritual food that will result in their experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised (John 10:10b). The Pastor's job is to guide his flock. So what happens when the Pastor is out of order? What happens when the leadership falls? This week I would like to explore this. What is your opinion of leadership in the church? What is the Pastor's responsibility? I want to talk this week about what their roles are in the church, the role of the congregation, how to identify "false prophets" and what to do when a leader has fallen! And let me tell you, as I began to study this topic there is very much a difference between Godly leaders and world leaders. We are equipped as men and women in Christ to determine the correct kind of leadership.Tomorrow I want to discuss more in depth the role of a pastor and why we need leadership in the church. Tell me what you think. Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog "The Truth of the Matter. Knowing the truth about everything really does matter.".
The pastor's role is to guide his flock. There is always lots of scandal concerning pastors, etc. The devil is busy! A lot of them can talk the talk, but not walk the walk, that's what matters to me. I pay close attention to my pastor outside of the church as well as when we're in service together. We are all work in progress and hopefully trying to achieve the same goal....make it to heaven.
