Good
morning Zebras,
A
Tozer thought for a Sunday morning:
“Some people might say, ‘Pastor, I would be a better Christian
if I had a better pastor.’ I wish it could be so. But you know that would not
be the case, because the better pastor you had, the more you would become a
spiritual parasite and lean on him. Often the most spiritual people attend
churches where the pastor cannot preach his way out of a wet paper bag. The
reason is because they have no help from the pulpit, so they have to learn to
lean on God. If you get too much help from the pulpit, you tend to become a
parasite and lean on your pastor. I believe in the priesthood of believers.”
We
can’t blame our pastors or our church for our own lack of spiritual growth because
God has given each one of us everything we need for life and godliness. (2
Peter 1:3-12) It is our responsibility to put it to use.
Love,
Jill
