It’s a “Thinking of a Pastor” Day.
LORD, WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR GRACE AND MERCY THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT PASTORS. MAY YOU CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM AND THEIR FAMILY. AMEN.
There are many who think and say the pastor has an easy time. Well let’s see:
If he’s young, he lacks experience; if his hair is gray, he’s too old.
If he has five or six children, he has too many; if he has none, he isn’t setting a good example.
If his wife sings in the choir, she’s forward; if not, she’s not interested in her husband’s work.
If he speaks from notes, he has canned sermons and is dry; if he is extemporaneous, he’s too deep.
If he spends too much time in his study, he neglects his people; if he visits he’s a gadabout.
If he is attentive to the poor, he’s playing the grandstand; if to the wealthy, he’s trying to be an aristocrat.
If he suggests improvements, he’s a dictator; if he doesn’t, he’s a figurehead.
If he uses too many illustrations he neglects the Bible; if not enough, he’s not clear.
If he condemns wrong, he is cranky; if he doesn’t, he is a compromiser.
If he preaches an hour, he’s windy; if less, he’s lazy.
If he preaches the truth, he’s offensive; if not, he’s a hypocrite.
If he fails to please everyone, he’s hurting the church; if he does please everyone, he has no convictions.
If he preaches tithing, he’s a money grabber; if he doesn’t, he is failing to develop his people.
If he receives a large salary he’s mercenary; if a small salary it proves he’s not worth much.
If he preaches all the time, the people get tired of hearing one man; if he invites guest preachers, he’s shirking responsibility.
Wow and some folks say and think the pastor has it easy. What do you think?
