Above What? the sky, the moon, the stars…..Above What? The word is very specific about being above reproach as a Pastor. Now first and foremost I want to say I am not perfect, have never been perfect and do think that anytime before my death that I will attain perfection.

I know that as a pastor we can get angry, sad, tired, bewildered, etc,etc. But what it troubles me when I just see a blantant attack on someone and to disavow all knowledge about something, then start casting stones. In todays world as Pastors we need to remember a few things:

1. It is all about Jesus Christ

2. We are and never will be perfect.

3.When the Pharisees approached Jesus about the prostitute, he told them that “let ye with no sin cast the first stone” I believe that we are to let people know of the sin that is separating them from God, but we are not to use their past as a rock to throw at them.  If I remember correctly the Pharisees dropped their stones and walked away.

4. We are to forgive 70×7. Pastors above all are to have compassion and love among other things for everyone. That is the love of Jesus Christ flowing thru us.

So if we as Pastors are confronted about something and can not give an answer without flipping out in anger we need to stop, pray about it, and ask for help or guidance in this matter.

OK I am done thanks for listening to me ramble something on my heart and I needed to write about it.

Please pray for me I am out of town on business and we had a long day today and if things work out for Saturday we will be working 12 hours +

Blessings,

Pastor Rick
