Should a pastor that spends most of his time preaching and teaching get paid for what God has him to do? I know what the scriptures says about this, but would you pastor for free?

To god be the glory, my answer to that question is yes and no! The reason is, if a church is already up and running then the answer is yes! because the pastor is a employee of the church. On the other hand if a church is just starting and need a man of god to help it grow, then my answer is no! or better yet not at this time pastor but as we grow we will be able too. To all up and coming pastor's dont run away from start-up chuches, this could be an unseen blessing from god and also a test from him as well. keep in mind he only promised us that he would be with us as we preach his word, not the number of the people who would listen.
Rev. Daniels,
You address this issue to men only, I'm a women Pastor, and a Rev. ordained to the clergy. There are more like me if you haven't noticed on this site at least. So this issue is meant for both men and women in ministry.
Rev. C. Bruce
My sister your taking my comment too literally, my message was indeed a delivery to my fellow brothers, and not a lack of knowledge of your place on this site as a women pastor. If I could be so bold, and if we would allow the bible to speak would you question the bible everytime Christ addressed the men as brotheren?
Absolutely a Pastor should teach for free. If he is teaching anything.
Without question...that is the greatest opportunity in the WORLD! Nothing could be more precious, more faith-building, challenging and rewarding at the same time. I do not draw a salary from the flock I serve. Neither do they tithe (per my instructions). As a result, I can teach and lead them into falling in love with Messiah. They trust me because they see my motives and my fruit. I am free to say what the Lord demands of me without any reservation or reluctance. There is no downside to this. None. In fact, I am flooded with cash gifts, dinners, plane tickets and many other blessings...simply because the love of Christ is flowing out of the people. I would encourage every believer to become a BOND SERVANT of the Master. The rewards are priceless.
MAKE IT PLAIN PREACHER

“Hope Repentance And Transformation”



When you preach to me speak of love and trust
Not of race, division, hate, blame and divide.
Teach me love and respect for my fellow man
Like Christ proclaimed before He died.

Warn me of greed, lust, selfishness and judgment
Tell me of hope, repentance, transformation, and grace.
Guide me from impureness past and present
Allowing God’s love to shine from my face.

Lead me to my mansion beyond Heaven’s gate
Where the righteous gather without debate.
Highlight my sins when I’ve lost my way
Remind me of salvation as for deliverance I pray.


OBAMA'S TWO WORLDS


There are two worlds, this one and the next
Man’s is deceptive, temporary and full of blame.
God’s is permanent, loving, truthful and complete
Free of hate, lust, war, greed and shame.

Our bodies belong to this world and die
Our souls come from God’s and return.
Virtue is knowledge of what is right or wrong
As the lessons of lifetime we learn.

Humans are disorderly, wasteful and corrupt
All are guilty of the ignorance of sin.
The worst crimes practiced on Earth today
Are the sadistic deeds committed by men.

History persist but nothing has changed
The world we live in is more dangerous than before.
Most people never know the true facts or answers
They just follow the leaders they fear or adore.

The falsehoods of politics shadow man’s soul
Testing our faith, temperament and resolve.
Real heroes defend, liberate and unite
Facing problems with a mandate to solve.

For the shepherds of the free I pray for your wisdom
To deal with America’s enemies and tribulations at hand.
Man’s world is God’s boot camp of divine worth
As the misdeeds of man crisscross the land.


By your friend Tom
The new testiment doesn't even require the church to tithe..that was for National Israel..
GB
Are you sure about that one? Better check your NT again......
I agree with Brother Trevor on the requirement of the tithing in the NT. It also says that we are to keep all of the commandments of God, except the animal sacrifice law, and Levitical priesthood. The nation of Israel "IS" the church. The NT Christians favorite apostle Paul even said that Israel is the Church, so Duckonia has a lot of studying to do. Email me if you need a study partner.
Hezekiah Ben Israel writes:" Email me if you need a study partner."

What is the point of these comments?

Where do you think that I am in error, so I can show you the scriptures that support my beliefs?
