Bluntness

A former pastor asked one of the members not to worship so emotional or spiritually during the praise and worship. She was shocked, this coming from him and to be honest the praise band was also taken aback.

God is angered when watching His shepherd, especially when they refute wrongly or grumble against the flock. God is also watching the flock who grumble behind closed doors against the pastor.

I'm not talking about when the pastor breaks a sheep's heart in the case of sister Pat or TiC who were hurt.

The pastor must pray for the flock especially in cases of 1 Timothy 5:1-2, but we also should pray for our pastor because they also make knucklehead mistakes.
I understand that wholeheartedly. đź’Ż I have forgiven but it left a sharp pain and a scar. I know I have probably done the same to others. So touche' - takes one to know one and we are all sinners and all nailed our beloved Lord upon that cross. Not one of us exempted.
