Yes, may we always remember to keep our church leaders in prayers and look within ourselves before pointing out the mistakes of those in authority. Also I truly believe it would be wise to avoid pointing fingers at these Christian celebs who do not directly influence or minister to our local church. But focus on building up our local bodies and only warn our own congregation when the need arises. Thank you for addressing this. God bless 🧡
Absolutely… I also believe we should “follow” in Paul’s footsteps as He followed Christ, and actively protect “the church” Christ built, equip believers, and uphold ahis standard.. and there is a standard for leaders/elders/ shepherds. Just want to do my part in doing so
I agree with this message. Let's pray for the pastors that constantly minister to us. We often forget the kind of pressures some of these Pastors and church leaders are under and I think it's important for us to remind ourselves that they are sinners just like us. They need our help as well.
I completely agree with your perspective! Pastors often fall into the trap of thinking they are the shepherds, but in reality, we are called to be the feeders of the Father's flock, not the owners. When we forget that stewardship means managing what belongs to God, it’s easy to lose sight of our true role and responsibility. I believe that if we humble ourselves and remember we are servants, entrusted to care for His people, we can avoid many of the pitfalls that lead to moral failure. Let's continue to pray for wisdom and humility for our leaders, and for the church as a whole, to embrace true stewardship.
I would agree this is a very vital issue to address. While leaders should listen if they are being admonished and corrected, those who are not in the pulpit should also be not afraid of speaking out and correcting others and their leaders out of love. We should all be accountable to each other because we're one body in Christ.
You've brought up an interesting topic. This is why it's so important for our main focus to be on Jesus. Leaders can fail because they are human, but God will never fail. While i wholeheartedly agree to your call for good stewardship for leaders, I also think there should be a call to grace for all the body; that if a leader has a failing that disqualifies them from exercising that position within the body, that we would have the grace and love to help restore them in their walk with Christ. Maybe they don't resume their leadership position, but that they can find healing and restoration as well.
Oh yea absolutely. We NEED grace and gentle restoration from each other.. it’s healthy for good loving accountability.. I also just recognize and emphasize more than I used to, the acknowledgment that not all should be in church leadership, that it’s an honor and privilege, and should be viewed in that way.. I pray my future videos as I hit on specific elements that I do gods word justice.
Prayer is so important in staying close to God and being able to hear what He has to say. ❤ Is business, even if it’s about God’s business, keeping us away from God?
Amen I appreciate you guys mentioning prayer.. to genuinely pray and have that intimacy with God is to acknowledge we Need Him… Did you end with a question?? Sorry just confused by statement
@@thePULSE87do you think we even get to busy doing “ God’s work” ? Sometimes I feel so busy doing things at church that I forget I need time to just be with God and pray and spend times just being in His presence. I am rewatching your video and trying to think about this as well.
Very interesting topic. I think we as the "led" need to do also do more to call our leaders to high levels or responsibility. "Love covers a multitude of sins" should not be translated to mean that erring leaders are covered up and not made to face the consequences of their bad behavior.
I believe accountability is a huge part among leaders. Fellow leaders can be accountable to pastors, so they’d stay in check. I’m saddened when pastors fall away, but at the end of the day, may we all follow God, not our pastors.
We can all make big mistakes and fall from grace, but the important thing is do we learn from them or not? It feels like a lot of people idolise Christian celebrities with Christian influence of have a lot more accountability than most because they are literally influencing people. We must be very careful what we show to the main public. ❤
There is absolutely a problem in the church, they are not preaching the Bible in these last days, we see the signs all around us and the church is silent, we see abominations all around us, and the Church is Silent. It's time the Church addresses the Truth that God gives us in his Holy Book. Jesus is coming soon. 🙌
Say it again! Yea it’s saddening overall.. but I’m definitely encouraged and hopeful, knowing that there Are still some solid Bodies doing their part.. I pray it spreads
Everyone I know is called by God. It's the inability to recognize this, discover our purpose and have a direct relationship with God made us to rely on the pastor even with lots of misdeed from them. Most of them are after money making not winning souls from God. they lack the fruits of God. But yet there are still true men of God. Grow spiritually first, then we won't be a pawn
There are two categories of fallen Pastors/leaders. There are those who are truly called to/gifted for ministry who are doing the Lord's work but in a moment of weakness have fallen into temptation. The enemy throws more temptation at those who are truly doing the Lord's work and everyone has moments of weakness. When a Pastor's sins become public, they become scandalous. Then there are those who are not called to the ministry, but go into it for all the wrong reasons. Many of these false preachers are not even saved, but can put on a good show for a time. Whether or not they are saved, a guy who is a false preacher will not hold himself to the same standards as a real Pastor will. These guys may do the right thing when someone is watching, but act totally different in private. When their sins are found out, it too becomes scandalous because the world views them in the same light as they view real Preachers. But in the case of the false pastors, they don't act like Christians because they aren't Christians and this leads to their fall. But, even real Preachers who are in fact called by God can have moments of weakness. We all have times when we stumble and begin to walk in the flesh. Whether or not this is considered a falling depends on how severe the sin is (in the world's eyes, the Bible is clear all sins are equal-if you break one commandment you have broken them all). And if the sin they commit in that moment of weakness happens to also be a crime, that makes it that much worse.
Always apply your well thought out input my friend.. definitely deserves a longer conversation, which is why I plan to do several targeted videos. But great thoughts brother
Matthew 7:15-16 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Yea I definitely am not aiming to do that, I always attempt more to talk about core of issues and point to truth… if I do point out specifics, it’s not to attack but to shed light on a larger issue
Anything else we get away from the word, leads us to sin, to get out of it, get back in the word.
Great word, may we always find our way back to Christ, no matter how far away we go. God bless alway.

May God help all of us that have a calling to do the work in Jesus name. Amen
Right, definitely need Him and his guidance
Stay in prayer for your pastors and test every spirit. Great reminder 🙌🏻
Absolutely right
It does get disappointing but we must keep our eyes on the only perfect person-Jesus.🌻

Amen! Well said!
Important to pray for our pastors and also for discernment as sheep. 🙏
ABSOLUTELY!💯
We have to be on guard against the schemes of the devil.
Absolutely
We need to challenge ourselves to ask these hard questions rather than act like there isn't a problem. Great job as always.
Yea one of the biggest dangers is to assume and pretend.. big time . Thank you
It so key to spend time in the Word and let that guide us every day. We so easily fall if we trust our own hearts.
Facts
So many golden nuggets in those scriptures you selected!
Amen thanks
Great point!
We are to be good stewards.
We are managing what’s not ours.
Amen that’s right..
Super important topic. Glad you’re addressing it!
🙏

Thanks for sharing this important message that church must live in the likeness of Christ
Bless you friend!
Such an important topic.
The devil's schemes are real, and we have to be God-wise
Amen well said
Yeah, people have forgotten their path. Need to get back to the straight and narrow. Encouraging word! Looking forward to the next one.
This is a message for us all to pursue true righteous stewardship
Lack of the anointing.
True
It's so educating .Thanks!
Bless you!
It's really good meaning
Appreciate it, God bless🙏

Right!
This is one of the worst reflections of the church that non-Christian’s focus on. 💔💔💔💔
What are you referring to.? Bad stewardship? Or my pointing it out?🤔
I find it difficult to watch videos that consistently point out the fallen leaders. I appreciate you did not do that.
Yea I definitely am not aiming to do that, I always attempt more to talk about core of issues and point to truth… if I do point out specifics, it’s not to attack but to shed light on a larger issue
