Signs of a Lukewarm Pastor

-

A great post by Craig Groeschel

  • Prays as much, or more, publicly than privately.
  • Is almost exclusively dependent on others’ sermons to preach than directly hearing from God.
  • Cares more about his church than The Church.
  • Preaches about evangelism but doesn’t practice evangelism privately.
  • Tolerates and rationalizes unconfessed sin.
  • Preaches for the approval of people rather than the approval of God.
  • Is overly sensitive to criticism.

    Mark,
    What a wonderful, much needed post. I can assure you controversy will arise from these statements. Controversy does not indicate negativism. A problem must be addressed before it can be solved. Thanks.

    How about signs of a lukewarm congregation?

    Wow! What a spiritual checkup for us. I would have to say it looks quite accurate, as I have found and find myself within. This a great list to help us see if we are even sitting on the edge of becoming lukewarm as our lives touch on just a portion of the list.

    Pastor Stan
    I find attitude usually reflects directly from leadership.

    Scott Williams really hit the nail on the head with this one.

    More concerned with making the “Headline” than making sure their “Head & Heart are In-Line” with God!

    I'd say they were signs of a terribly discouraged pastor.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
