Let it be noted first of all that the preacher is not a pastor of the church unless he is qualified and has been appointed as such in the church

Recently, in discussing with a fellow preacher his desire to encourage the congregation where he was preaching to appoint elders I told
18.
This task should not be relegated to the preacher for in most instances he does not know nearly as much about the

The preacher should have preached several lessons on the qualifications, work, responsibilities of the elders and the congregation one to another

The preacher, who is Jesus Christ, begins his speech by announcing his Second Coming at the beginning of the New Age

For a young preacher this can really be discouraging

the task of the local preacher to carry out the majority (if not all) of the decisions that were made
23.
It is neither fair to the preacher or the congregation to let such happen

congregations don't want their preacher to act like a "pastor" but they are more than willing to give him all the responsibilities of such

* Important side note: The local preacher as a part of the business meeting is to have no more "voting power" than any other man of the congregation but remember he should be allowed equal input

Gary Puryear presently serves as the preacher and one of the elders of the Henderson

Thus says The Lord: Is My Word in need of confirmation by men without knowledge? Is the Word of My mouth subject to the words of men, whose understanding remains lacking, whose power is of no use at all? Shall My words be made subject to the approval of any self-appointed prophet, teacher, pastor, or preacher?

joining was more about that charismatic preacher than real belief…remember him, Michelle? Anyway, I recall seeing the person who was being baptized ahead of me coming out of the water and thinking ‘I can see through her sheet!’” Charles laughed, but E did not seem to think it was too funny and gave him a look that reminded me of the look that Michelle often sent in my direction

There is not a preacher, rabbi, or priest that can get you into

I thought my mother had made a very bad choice in throwing away her independence and a life of singing to marry – a preacher, of all things - but of course didn’t say so

This command is addressed to you and me, not the preacher, minister, priest, pastor or the spiritual leader, but YOURS and MINE!!!
54.
Now you can say: “If my preacher states I only have to believe in Christ in order to receive everlasting life” and your preacher quotes the following scripture:
55.
Then you can say: “I have searched scriptures and found that it is written in my Bible, just as my preacher said, therefore I believe my preacher”
56.
No, you have not searched the scriptures, you merely read what the preacher told you to read and therefore you accept it as true, notwithstanding the fact that it is taken totally out of context, related to scriptures as a whole
57.
Why? There are numerous conditions to this promise which the preacher does not teach
58.
"He is a splendid preacher," said loyal Faith
59.
This scenario has the subsequent result that if the preacher so much as dares to preach biblical truths, where these truths differs from what the employers (congregation members) wants to hear, he gets fired or loses paying congregation members!

What you should never do is consult your preacher because he is going to tell you what you want to hear, what is politically and socially acceptable at the time
62.
Prove, from scriptures by quoting the appropriate passages that a minister, priest, preacher, reverend, pastor or any other type of clergymen must conduct the funeral of a child of God
63.
When you stand in the proverbial queue to receive your judgement, it will not be the pastor, the preacher or even the great Dr Isak Burger who will be judging you, but SCRIPTURES! You will also not be allowed to defend yourself by stating that the pastor told you it was okay
64.
It may very well be that you were in turmoil about the decision and then you decided to enquire as to what scriptures have to say about cremation by asking your good old church preacher, of course he said there was nothing wrong, you can decide and no one may judge you – in this case the sin will be on him, but be careful – you have a responsibility to search the scriptures as well, in prayer of course…
65.
It may be possible that you consulted a preacher
66.
How many funerals have you attended where the preacher said: “Here lies John Doe, dead in his coffin, truly a wonderful day for his wife and children and society in general! He abused his wife, beat her senseless her from time to time, rented out his children and broke his children’s bones when they were only two months old because they cried
67.
This does not mean: NOT the highly educated theologian, the scribe, the Pharisee, the preacher, the priest, the pastor or doctor and the professor, but he whom is the least esteemed!
68.
Just think: If I were to strip this book of truth and promote cremation as a viable option for Christians, pastors would recommend this book to their congregation members and the book would sell like hotcakes, but by now you know that no preacher with his senses still intact will ever recommend this book to anyone, in fact he may label it as a satanic book and warn his congregation to avoid it at all costs
69.
Church is a business where the “word of the preacher is the product” and provided “the product” soothes the ears, the customers (congregation members) will pay and pay and pay even more…
70.
A preacher which is worth his salt, will resign and sever all ties with church, no matter what the dogma is, and a preacher who is only worth half his salt, will refuse point blank to partake in any action whatsoever related to any form of cremation
71.
Your defence that you listened to your preacher, after you received the truth, but turned like the dog to its own vomit, will not be accepted and furthermore, the big stunner - when God says:
72.
It is the highly educated theologians who reject the truth in favour of the praise of men! And ordinary people like us? Well, we love the praise of the pastor, minister, preacher and priest (Pharisees and scribes) more than God also, and that’s why we are also afraid of the truth

We SHOULD display the fruit of the Spirit while we are outside of our homes, but don't "relax" at home! Your home is your greatest ministry! If you are going to be "real" anywhere, PLEASE be real at home! How many couples scream at each other on the way to church, then go in and sing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds"? How many times have we disrespected our husbands or neglected our children, yet how sweetly we talk to "Sister Sarah" on the phone about how she can better her walk with God?? We have this idea that it is okay to be rude and downright self-centered in our homes, but we would never speak that way to our preacher
78.
Have you ever done that? Have you done things or said things that you thought would be God's will, but it turned out to be against His will? Have you ever heard a preacher do that? Here are just a few observations we can make from this account

Verse 23 is often used in sermons, and is sometimes used incorrectly, in that the preacher

Also, the text does not state that the preacher has to be personally present for faith

Churches have a hypocritical foundation as the congregation pays the preacher and provides income for the church
95.
The preacher then has to make them happy, while the church has to recruit preachers who preach the way they want
96.
The preacher has to deliver a slight message because the straight out truth would scare people away
97.
As I have heard a preacher say, "Christians do not care about truth"

Normally the old guys in a church never let me near a preacher, but this guy rushes me into the cafeteria, straight to the preacher, and announced me

saying "he carries the halo!" I was interogated by the preacher and he was very interested, but was obviously limited by his surroundings
