]]> Comment on Pastoral Search Committees – Ask These Questions! by Carey http://thepfjournal.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/pastoral-search-committees-ask-these-questions/comment-page-1/#comment-1227 Carey Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:26:31 +0000 http://thepfjournal.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/pastoral-search-committees-ask-these-questions/#comment-1227 Hi Matt, and thanks for your input. My article is in no way intended to say these are the ONLY things that should be considered. Nor is it an attempt to skirt the entirely adequate qualifications listed in scripture. My articles on this subject are intended to cause churches to think of how serious this task is instead of taking such a non-critical look at the role and need that it meets in their church. And I assume (perhaps wrongly so) that most search committees will be prayerful in their decision and will wait on the Lord to direct, as you suggested. Thanks for your input.

King David who was filled with God's Spirit and hand picked by God could not pass your test. Why? He had sexuall imorality problems, murdered Uriaha, and commanded on his death bed for Solomon to kill all his enemies like some dying Mob Don. Paul was never married and did not want to take Mark with him on the mission field, because of Mark's prior failures. This caused Barnabus to admonish Paul. Later toward the end of Paul's life he sends for Mark saying he is valuable to me in the Lord. My point everybody would want older seasoned Paul for a Pastor but not so much younger brash Paul. Peter seperated and ate with visiting Jews before Paul had to admonish him in front of his flock. Peter suffered from poor doctrinal practices and was causing divisions. James and Paul were in a on going disbute that was know by all the churches.God puts sheppards in peoples lives with all their short commings and faults and if people are looking for a Pastor that meets certain requirements here are all they need Husband of one wife, Not a striker, Not given to much wine and not a novist in Christ who runs his family well. Lastly since when does the flock pick the Sheppard? Churches should know who is the right one by consulting the Lord daily in prayer until he sends that person.When Judas was out, the Disciples tried picking Mathais as the new number 12, but Paul indicated he was the chosen of God an Apostle out of time not Mathais.
