The usage of the email address: pastor@... I'm not a pastor, nor am I the head of a congregation. But I choose to use the word pastor because of it's sensitivity. Pastor is one who cares for the flock of God and sherpard through word and adminstration. Though Apostles and Prophets are greater in administration, the office of a pastor has become supreme today. Most people would have a hard time relating to Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists and world wide preachers on an individual basis; simply because of lack of exposure and teaching on the matter. The often rebutal would be "If my pastor don't say this or that then..." This is kind of good, because some that operate as Apostles, Prophets and Evangelists are really wolves in sheep clothing. On the other hand, they are many Pastors who just the same. The point is today, the only leadership or authority on the "word" our minds will readily accept, is that of a pastor. This is not our fault, but something streaming down from Roman Catholism culture, where the Pastors and Bishops where actually term "Superior in Authority." What everyone should do is become like the bereans, who "received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11). These are the people any true preacher would love to preach to as Paul exalted. Paul was like a Pastor, though not directly overseeing a congregation: "It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables" (Acts 6:2). Why? He shepard the "scattered" flock with the word of God; where ever it went. Another Prophet of the Old Testament was like this. He was noted as saying, "As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee" (Jer 17:16). Jermiah wasn't a Pastor, nor a Bishop; though initially he was one of the workers in the priestly order. At this time, he was a Prophet; guiding the nation of Israel through a time of turmoil and destiny. Though he was beaten and abused for it. How then could he have said, "I have not hastened from being a pastor?" Because of his word to the nations, "that which came out of my lips was right before thee." Likewise, I use this in my email address to be more sensitive to the readers, as the intension is that the information is well received without any hindrances. And I believe the words itself are a guide in the age of darkness; similar to Jeremiah being a guide to Israel during the days of Josiah to Zedekiah, Kings of Judah nearing the Babylonian captivity. His word was pastoring or sheparding the people of Israel. So does the words of this newsletter. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Heb 4:12)
