WHAT IS A PASTOR?
A pastor is not a social worker. He is not a
psychoanalyst. He is not a marriage counselor. He is not a financial advisor.
He is not a crusader for morality. He is not an educator. He is not an
executive. He is not a magistrate’s assistant, a doctor’s assistant, or a
mortician’s assistant. The pastor is neither a tyrant, nor hireling. He is
neither an absolute dictator, nor a manipulated puppet. He is neither a harsh
and rash ruler, nor a timid and fearful coward. What is a pastor? HE IS A
MESSANGER!
Pre-eminently,
the pastor must be a preacher! He is a man called of God to preach the gospel. HE
IS A MAN WITH A MESSAGE FROM GOD FOR YOU!
