Some one asked me the other day why I dont care for the title Reverend. So The following is a PERSONAL preference. He sent redemption unto His people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name. (Psalm 111:9) The Psalmist is of course speaking of God. This is the only place where reverend is used. Its my understanding that Reverend (in light of Psalm 111:9) is a title or attribute of God. HOWEVER: Ephesians 4:11-16King James Version (KJV) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. With that in mind.....Since I am a pastor...call me Pastor Riley. I do not want to be called Reverend. k
