What about Political Pastor?

[Dr S.A David]

POLITICAL PASTORS:
Jer 10:21; Jer 23: 11; Mich 3: 11
Description: They were once servants of the Lord, but have now
backslidden. They no longer have time to preach, pray, nourish people
and prepare them for heaven. All their time is taken up with meetings
upon meetings. They have become servants of the people. Bad friends,
economic hardship and strange teachings have changed them.

Basic motive: To make it, either by force or by fire. They therefore
engage in church politics. They become cunning, crafty, arm -
twisting and can speak from both sides of the mouth. Their strategic
closeness to church authority make them to determine the transfer,
promotion, discipline and suspension of other pastors, many times
better than them. Character assassination is their modus - operandi.

Demerits: Their churches always suffer because they are not always
around due to frequent meetings. They are spiritually dry, unable to
get fresh insight from God and the church suffers spiritually. They
get involve in scandals which they use for their political
manouvering to cover up. Political pastors needs to return back to
the Lord, else.......

Prospects: Remember where you have fallen, repent and return back to
the Lord. Stop church politics and concentrate on the primary job of
pastoring, leading, nourishing and preparing people for heaven.
