Respect

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.  Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. (I Thess 5: 12, 13)

I'm not sure how to comment on this without it being/seeming self serving!!  The truth is that I feel a great deal of respect from the members of our church.  The other truth is I've seen this idea abused dramatically by pastors who over step their authority in a huge way, often demanding unquestioned loyalty, which of course always leads to devastation of the community of faith.  

I appreciate your appreciation of the leaders of the church.  

Love and prayers, 

Dan
