The Slippery Slope # 6 Ministry is Just a Job. A lot of churches make the mistake of thinking that pastors are just hired hands that are holding a job, when, in fact, we are not. Pastors are the shepherds called to walk in humility, in boldness, and always in the parameters of His Fruit (Col. 3:12-17). Thinking that ministry is only for pastors who are hired to do our work creates disharmony with God and the purpose of His Church. This causes pastors and their flock to compromise externally to worldly pressures or to power factions within the church in order to be politically correct (internal church pressures), or compromise to distorted thinking, power plays, creating or bowing to personal agendas that are not biblical or Spirit led, or following bad trends. intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?blogid=3881&url=10&view=post&articleid=32768&fldKeywords=&fldAuthor=&fldTopic=0
