Have you ever noticed that every negative news involving some pastors, ministers and so forth is always front page news? It is always open for public scrutiny and the news or the internet forum are quick to post such news. Are pastors or minister of God above mistakes ? definitely not, even thought the bible states "Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect". My point is that you hardly hear what good news the church is doing. The goal of the devil is to discredit the church and make the church look bad to the unbeliever. Please let us pray for our brother and sister in Christ so we can live our life reflecting Christ.

1. Your Pastors set themselves up as Mogs & masters over God's flock...surely, you should understand why they are then held to a higher standard than those they pretend they are set over by God. So yes, they are expected to be Perfect, and nothing less, this command given by God Himself, to again, all those who claim to belong to Him.

2. Have you not heard the saying, "Bad news travels faster...." , when now his have. As long as we live in this world and you engage with those of this world, realize that, as long as you are refuse to rise to the levels that Jesus Christ did or that set by God Himself in His Law, your every bad will always outweigh the good you do .I.e. every good you attempt will be made filthy by your sins... Isaiah 64 vs 6

3. The solution is not prayer. You accomplish more by telling your pastors to start learning and living according to the Truth of God but can a bad tree produce good fruits? Jesus Christ said it is not possible so those of you who worship at the altar of your pastors should maybe find yourselves New and better masters.
