Unhealthy Expectations about your Pastor.

I read this a few months ago.

Unhealthy Expectations about your Pastor.

They are not substitute parents. They are not shrinks. They are not janitors, plumbers, or construction workers. They are not crisis managers. They are not perfect problem solvers. They are not corporate executives. They do not have wireless access to the Holy Spirit concerning your problems. They are not responsible for your sin. They are not constructed for long term bashing. They are not required to shoulder harsh criticisms. They are not celebrities. They have real families with real problems too. They are not always available and tireless. They are not God in human form. They can burn out.

How many times do we expect these things from our Pastors? They are just serving God like everyone else. They just happen to have the title Pastor because God gave it to them. And they are doing the best they can to serve and lead God’s people. The church.
