michaels,
The Man in The Mirror
When you get all you want and you struggle for self, and the world makes you
king for a day,
then go to the mirror and look at yourself and
see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your mother, your father or wife whose
judgment upon you must pass,
but the man, whose verdict counts most in your life is the
one staring back from the glass.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
for he's with you right to the end,
and you've passed your most difficult test if the
man in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
and think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world, down the highway of years,
and take pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears if you've
cheated the man in the glas

Michaels, it's one thing to see someone mistreat you. It is quite another to generalize. Saying that all pastors don't care is the same as a kkk member calling all blacks dumb, or a nazi calling all jews evil. Beware stereotypes ... however, I am sorry you feel that way and were it seems mistreated. My paster is almost the opposite of what you describe. He's very caring, and acts in loving ways as we should be doing. Not every church is the same, not every pastor is the same, not every church is the same.

But even if all pastors were corrupt, that would be more of a reason to follow God, not less. It would be up to us to live lives that reprove them. But if they don't follow God, and we use that as an excuse to not follow God ourselves, then we are no better than they are.

Some good points to think on for all of us, may the LORD give us all wisdom and discernment in these perilous times, IN JESUS NAME.
