Messiah is He whom all human hearts seek ...
Continuing Discussion ... A Pastor should?
bibleThanks for the input of my last question! There were some really good, thoughtful answers posted. Now ... to continue ...
One of my "issues" is that human nature seems quite eager to "idolize" anyone with a title, be it pastor, teacher, choir master, director ... whatever. Scripturally, each believer has gifts and talents that are for the building up of the congregation. All gifts have equal value to the local congregation, so no one is deserving of extraordinary honor save Jesus. We're told that each believer has something to contribute to the whole, so how does this work? While I have heard this taught, I have not yet seen it implemented. Any ideas?
