Pastor's Attitude - August 13, 2023 DD

Welcome to Daily Devotions. Pastor David Sumrall gives a candid discussion about people's attitudes toward pastors. In Corinthians 4, Apostle Paul emphasizes his role as a servant of Christ entrusted with explaining God's mysteries. Today, many pastors are assessed based on appearance. But spiritual leaders must not be judged on outward appearance or the standards of men but on how they faithfully declared God's Word. It is the Lord's evaluation that matters, not human opinions.

1 Corinthians 4:1-4 NLT - "So look at Apollos and me as mere servants of Christ who have been put in charge of explaining God’s mysteries. 2 Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful. 3 As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgment on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide."
