[QUOTE="Street Rat, post: 2233537, member: 2802"] A small church is eagerly awaiting to hear their new pastor speak on Sunday morning, when the day arrives, he preaches his sermon and stands by the door as his new congregation leaves. One by one they all walk out, shake the new pastors hand and tell him what a great sermon it was and can't wait to hear what he has the next Sunday. Sunday comes back around, the pastor stands up and preaches the same message as last Sunday, one by one they walk out the door shaking the pastors hand saying they really enjoyed hearing that message again. Sunday comes back around, preaches the same message. On his way out as one of his members are walking out shaking the pastors hand says "Pastor, don't get me wrong, that's a great message, but when do we get to hear something new?" The pastor replies "When I see the church following what I'm preaching". A pastor is a leader, I have not personnally given my pastor control over my life, but he has been leading my church for 20 years and living the christian life longer than that (I have only been there a year now), so I would have to think that he has a little more wisdom living the life than myself. I myself have been going to church since I've given my life to live for Jesus Christ for the last 23years, two churches for over 10 years each. I understand there are some pastors who might be controlling, and yes, I wish this video guy would have made referrence to God or Jesus during the 5 minutes which is getting so much publicity, but we still don't know what was said before or after. I believe Paul said plenty about confronting or correcting people in the church who aren't living for God, I'm sure there is a wrong way and right way. I think we may have way too many pastors who won't do it either way in fear of offending some people. I like going to a church that's not afraid to step on my toes, and I pray that I will always be able to learn from those times instead walking away being offended. Edit: Well, there it is, if this statemet is indeed true, that is sad and he should be prayed for hopefully his heart will be able to accept change, could be that this publicity could be a turning point as an answer to someones prayer.
