7 Signs that the Pastor Might Actually be Human After All
Today*s pastor has to be many things to many people on many different levels at many different times. He is a preacher, a counselor, an administrator, an evangelist, a teacher, a superintendent, a shepherd, a coach, a husband, a father, a confidant, an educator, an organizer, a speaker, a worship leader, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. Too often, we forget that he is something else* human. Flawed, fleshly, feeble human.
The pastor is to lead with repute and character?
He is to set forth an example of holiness and godliness in his community?
He is to practice what he preaches, while living in a glass house?
He is to hold high the standards of biblical principles and precepts?
But, we need to remember he is a sinner, simply saved by the grace of God.
So, here are seven signs that your pastor may very well be a human after all:
1. Your Pastor May be Human if he has a difficult time being in 10 places at once.
2. Your Pastor may be human if he doesn’t always preach the very best message you have
ever heard every single Sunday.
3. Your pastor may be human if his family has struggles, worries, problems, and trials just
like yours.
4. Your pastor may be human if he fails to have a photographic memory about any and
everything going on in every person*s life.
5. Your pastor may be human if he has a hard time being mistake-free in his administrative,
pastoral, spiritual, social, financial, and networking responsibilities.
6. Your pastor may be human if he occasionally is in an odd, weird, or even bad mood.
7. Your pastor may be human if he, by chance, seems under pressure by the mounting and
unrelenting spiritual attacks that come at him, his family, and the church every single
day.
I am blessed to Pastor Gloster Baptist Church who understands the humanity of their Pastor.
