06/15/18 FORMULA FOR FULFILLMENT
Pastors should know God's word, then lead their parishioners in wisdom.
Parishioners should submit and follow God's chosen man.
GOD'S PLAN
(I realize this does not apply to all "ministries" or "churches." This relates to Bible believing folks, which is what everyone should be).
In fact, parishioners should be seeking pastoral, spiritual leadership and counsel in the various areas of their lives. It is not unusual for "team members" to get coaching, leading, help from their mentors. How much more essential for the local body of believers to be actively seeking oneness of mind and the path of victory.
Hebrews 13:7
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Hebrews 13:17
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
