  3. Richard J, Shuta says:

    All people are citizens but not all are mayors. The Holy Ministry is God’s unique gift to His people. A congregations called Pastor, following the Good Shepherd, are His under shepherds. They lovingly feed and willingly sacrifice self for the sheep. Pastors are not hirelings; they neither fleece the sheep nor by trickery “pull the wool over their eyes.” John 10
