"I charge you before God and The Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching" (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
The commission given to pastors is not to please people, but to honestly, with patience, teach the truth which at times includes rebuking and correcting individuals. Our pastor may be getting involved in our affairs because we are violating God's principles and he is attempting to rescue us.
Pray for your spiritual leader today. He or she does not have an easy commission.
