A survey identified the characteristics people consider would make the ideal pastor:
• Preaches deep expository sermons that are filled with funny stories and last exactly 10 minutes.
• Frequently condemns sin but never upsets anyone.
• Works at the church from 7 a.m. until midnight and spends plenty of time with the family.
• Makes $100 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives about $150 a week to the poor.
• Is 25 years of age and has been preaching for 30 years.
• Has a burning desire to work with teenager, and is always with the senior citizens.
• Makes 15 daily calls to church families, visits shut-ins and the hospitalized, evangelizes the unchurched, and is always in the office when needed.
Aren’t you glad God has a different definition of the ideal pastor: “good and faithful servant.”
Blessings!
