Lets start a list of churches you would leave your current successful church to "pastor"!

1. We can start the list with Jack Wilkerson from FBLB for FBCH and HAC

What church would you accept a position if they came calling?

Now I know some of you wouldn't, because you actually have a calling and duty to those you've labored among many years! I applaud you for it. Your ambition for success hasn't overridden your love and care for the sheep of your pastor! I can give a good example. Bobby Roberson has been pastoring GLBC since 1956! I'm sure he's had opportunity to find something else. Even opportunity.


 
I would take that Vatican gig in a heartbeat.

I have Pastored the same church for over 30 years....never considered leaving....but don't doubt God moves some Pastors according to the good pleasure of His will. That's how He placed me here in 1981!
What about you?

First thing you should do is get the name correct.

I know all of you think you're really really smart but you should study surnames sometime.

What about you?

So you HAVE moved around but not recently. What caused you to move before.....God's Will or did you get fired or something?

Its rather silly for a "pastor" to ALWAYS say he is going somewhere else because of "God's Will". Sin is often "covered" with that great old statement. "Its God's will".

Why should I believe someone when they say such? Just because they've said it? I don't read in the bible where God moved "Bishops/Pastors" around. Do you?

If you're certain that its God's will.... then why even vote on it? Has the majority ever been an accurate indicator of God's will?

Are you serious? You sound like Buffa aka John Mark ............

I've never been fired....been in the same church, as Pastor, for  30 years!

What about you?
Where do you pastor?
How long have you been there?
Ever moved?
Ever changed churches?
Ever changed your socks?
Ever change your underwear?
Ever change your mind?
Ever had common sense? If so, when? And what happened to it?
Does your mother know you're an idiot?

Why not answer my other questions? Why should I believe it when a man tells me its "God's will" for him to leave a successful church to move on to BIGGER and BETTER things?

Should I believe it just because he said it? Give a biblical example of Bishops/Pastors moving around from city to city?

Here. I'll answer your questions. Will you then answer mine?


Pastored several years ago. Not any longer. Church was small and the charter members wanted to close it soon after I accepted the position. I agreed because there were and are several churches in that same area all competing for the same members.
Never moved.
I have been member of 3 separate churches my entire life.
I do change my socks. Got a new pair on right now.
I do change my underwear. Got clean ones on at the moment.
I do change my mind. I hope for the better. That's one reason I couldn't take IFB DUM. ... anymore.
I've got as much common sense as you do or more. Never intend to lose it.
My mother is gone on to be with the Lord! Can ask that you stop bringing her up?

Is that enough answers for you?

I have to amen this line of reasoning.  I have planted churches, and will plant more,...but the longest I've pastored one has been 5 years.  It isn't my gift.  I pioneer, but don't maintain. 
That said, I aleays wonder why someone gets 'called' away from their 'called' place....sin is my guess, too.

Not trying to disagree in this but pastors don't always leave for sin reasons. We had a pastor wanted to go back to where his family lived to help them out.
