THE IMPORTANCE OF PASTORS

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

Romans 10:13-15
King James Version

I have said many times that I have the best Pastor in the world and it is true but is he perfect? No, he isn't perfect just like you and I aren't perfect but Pastor Davis loves Jesus and he loves the people in his congregation. I thank God for putting me under the leadership of Pastor Davis.

Pastors are very important because they not only preach and lead the people in their congregation, they also set the example of how to live for Jesus. It is very important and even urgent that we encourage and pray for our pastors and their families. One of my pastors said many times "Pray for my wife because when I am discouraged, God uses my wife to encourage me".

When people are sick and in the hospital, there are times when pastors have to get up in the middle of the night and go to the hospital to minister to them. Pastors sacrifice time with their families to encourage and minister to the people in their congregation. May God help us to be an encouragement to our pastors and their family.
