Or, if the last pastor had few organizational skills, the Call Committee often decides that they want a pastor who is more of an administrator. Most Call Committees look for a pastor who is thirty to fifty years of age. They often want someone who is married and has at least one child. They may seek someone who was a pastor of a larger church and is an eloquent preacher. The Call Committee often wants someone who has a “sense of humor” and preaches about 25-30 minutes. They typically look for someone who is a graduate of an approved seminary or was on the staff of a well-known church. If the church is young, they might look for a young pastor with a vision for reaching the younger generation. The goal might be to increase church attendance.
Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24
The passage states that an accusation cannot be raised unless at least two or three witnesses have firsthand knowledge of the elder’s sin. It is implied that the accusations were discussed by the elders and found to be valid. Then the sinning elder is to be rebuked and warned to stop.
Some of our churches are very weak when it comes to teaching. Listen to his explanations, but do not make any commitments or statements of apology or condemnation during or at the close of the meeting, unless you are convinced he was correct and that you had made a judgment error. After the meeting, you will have an opportunity to reflect on what was said. Then you might want to return for another visit.
The Greek word for “husband” in this hallarse is “male.” The fiel Greek says that the overseer or elder must be a “one woman male.” Since it is impossible for a woman to be a the “male of a woman” – a husband – we understand that a pastor must be a male.
Mientras se realizaba este cambio, el Imperio Romano, ahora cristiano, les concedió más poderes a los obispos. Se les facultó exclusivamente para aceptar competencia sobre las faltas de los clérigos, y toda demanda entablada contra éstos tenía que ser traída en presencia de la corte del obispo. El emperador Constantino el Excelso a menudo permitió a todos los cristianos tolerar sus demandas judiciales en presencia de el obispo, pero este derecho fue retirado a fines del siglo IV. Sin bloqueo, ellos continuaron actuando como árbitros, cuyo oficio le había sido encomendado por los primeros cristianos. Más importante quizás es la parte que la clase romana les asigna a los obispos como protectores de los débiles y oprimidos. Se le permitía al amo emancipar legalmente a sus esclavos en presencia del obispo; éste tenía igualmente el poder de remover y restaurarles la libertad a las doncellas de casas inmorales donde sus padres o amos las habían colocado.

Los obispos deben hacer esta encuentro personalmente y con este propósito se les permite ausentarse de sus diócesis; los obispos de Italia durante cuatro meses, otros obispos por siete meses. La Santa Sede a veces dispensa a un obispo de la obligación de hacer la recepción personalmente, especialmente a individualidad de aquellos que han sido promovidos a un oficio más detención (dignitates), o a un sacerdote de su diócesis que viva en Roma, o incluso al agente del obispo en esa ciudad, si es un eclesiástico.
The results were amazing. Most everyone said the pastor should spend most of his time in sermon preparation and teaching/preaching, but they thought he should spend only about 10 hours per week doing this. That told us that the leaders of this church did not really believe the duties of the pastor was to teach and preach. If they had, the number of hours should have been at least double. For an additional article dealing with the duties of a pastor, the selection of a pastor, and for a copy of the above mentioned questionnaire please read “Thoughts On Selecting A Pastor.” Another More about the author important article is “A Call: Teach The Bible.”
