Hebrews 13:7,17
Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct....Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
If those who attend church are supposed to follow and obey those who lead in the church, those leaders should be acting in a godly way. I went to a church a few years ago where the pastor didn't lead or live correctly and many people left because they knew they couldn't follow his poor example. Just a reminder to pastors and church leaders to guard your hearts and minds in Christ.
I thank God that there are many good pastors including mine who take the Bible and their relationship with the Lord and with their congregation seriously.
I also wanted to congratulate Don and Sharon Engram on their 50th wedding anniversary! Pastor Don was my pastor for many years. Another great couple who led by example.
