A Line in the Sand...
Somewhere along the line we have come to the conclusion that pastors are employees of churches to be hired and fired at will as soon as they don't take the church exactly where it wants to go. When did it ever become about us? Churches are not employers and pastors are not employees. Pastors are called by God to lead the church...Not where the church wants to go...Not where the pastor wants to go but where God wants to go! Anything else will result in a weak ineffective, self-serving, self-centered thing that really can't be called a church. Churches follow Jesus!
