| Pastors are often in the way. |
Let me get out of your way. We pastors have kind of messed
things up. Ephesians 4 tells us pastors were given to the church to equip
the saints for works of ministry so the body of Christ will be built up.
Somewhere we got in the way. We decided you were there to
support our ministry. You pass out bulletins, invite your friends, help in the
nursery, show up every Sunday, and, of course, pay our salary – so we can stand
up there and do our thing. We forgot our “thing” is to prepare you and send you
out to do your thing in a dying world.
Maybe we like to feel important, to get the applause of
people. Or maybe we just didn't know any better. That is what they taught us in
seminary.
But you deserve better. You can’t truly follow Jesus if we
are standing in the path. So please, let me get out of your way.
