Clever pastor. That solid rock of lemming-like flattery will hide and crush any pebbles of dissent which inadvertantly roll into HIS church’s path. But bigger is not always better. I’d rather be a tiny, chipped pebble in God’s pocket than part of a massive, solid, earthly rock supporting a human god.

Sad, but so very true. So many people build their own ministries and forget that Jesus Christ is very capable of being the one and only Pastor.

Flattery will get you everywhere in a system like that!

Amen to that! So much worshipping of man’s idols going on.
