DON'T TAKE BECAUSE OF YOUR PRIEST OR PASTOR WEAKNESS AND STOP SERVING GOD.

There have been a number of pastoral failures over the last several years, from both sides of the evangelical spectrum, each one a painful reminder that pastors are far from perfect. Moral weakness, shocking insensitivity and gross negligence have been prominently displayed.

As Christians we should be angry, we should demand better, we should ask questions, but we should not be shocked, for at least the following four reasons.

☘️ Because Priest or Pastors Are Sinners

A man is not called to the pastorate because he has achieved perfection with respect to personal character. In fact, the character requirements listed in 1 Timothy 3 seem remarkable in their unremarkableness.

Here are some things to consider if you're struggling with your pastor's weaknesses.

☘️ Remember that pastors are human.

Pastors are people with faults, weaknesses, and mistakes, just like everyone else. You shouldn't have higher expectations of them than you do of others.

☘️ Seek help from Jesus.

You can seek Jesus to minister to you, and you can also look for a church where you can be ministered to by others.

☘️ Forgive.

If you've been hurt by your pastor, you can ask God to help you forgive them. You don't need to go to them directly, but you can release them in your heart.

Don’t be the one who opened the door of your church to an abuser.

NOTHING IN ALL CREATION WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD

ROMANS 8:39

Walkwithjesus:
☘️ Forgive.

If you've been hurt by your pastor, you can ask God to help you forgive them. You don't need to go to them directly, but you can release them in your heart.

Don’t be the one who opened the door of your church to an abuser.

Y'all won't tell pastor to forgive church members when they treat church member badly..yall will justify it with discipline and all manner of things like he felt led by the holy Spirit to do so.... Judgement dey heaven, and Jesus say prostitutes go enter before most of una

The problem is that title "PASTOR"
True Christians don't call anyone by titles that makes them seems unpunishable Christ taught us that we are all brothers {Matthew 23:8-10} so if anyone goes wrong he or she is reproved and for some time such ones loose the privilege of serving as officiating ministers.

That's not the case with Christendom churches so sincere worshipers will leave such a place of worship for yet another.
