Deeper Bible Studies Eagle-wheels.com Begging Pastors.

It is so sad that in so many churches today,the pastor will spend a few minutes talking about God's Word.. But hardly ever getting into the scriptures and explaining them as he should
. Then the rest of the time is spent speaking of other things like the needs of he church and passing the collection plate..

Then he may mention something about the church membership or striving to get new members. Maybe noticing that many members are not attending regular services..
If you were ever on a farm around feeding time, you would see the animals gather around the feeding place shortly before feeding time. They know that the farmer will feed them.

That is the same way the church would be if they were fed.. One can't help but think that the pastor is more interested in fleecing the sheep than feeding them..
God Doesn't like that!

M'r:6:7: And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8: And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
9: But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10: And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

God did not want them to be walking around begging. He doesn't want his shepherds of today begging either. If the shepherds (pastors) do their jobs, He will see that they are well taken care of..

We should expect to be fed when we attend church.. That is what a Pastor is for!
If he is not feeding the sheep, what good is he?
Most anyone can stand up and quote traditions but of what value are they?
We would be much better off without most of them!

It does appear that some of these pastors, who are supposed to be dedicated to feeding the flock are more interested in keeping up with tradition and trying to get the congregation to put more money in the plate.. Sometimes if you ask one of them a question about the Bible he will either,
1. give you a short answer,
2. Give you no answer or
3. Spout off some traditions of man that can in no way be proved in the Bible..
It makes one think of Mathew chapter 4 when Satan was "Quoting Scripture"

M't:4:3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
M't:4:6: And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Pastors who are guilty of this should have a long talk with themselves and with God. They need to decide if they are going to follow God and His teachings or chase after money.. Jesus makes it crystal clear that we can't have two bosses at once -
it's God or money (Luke 16:13).

Lu:16:13: No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

This also applies to us when we see someone in need..
We are not to pass by as if we didn't see them.
That does not please our Father..
Always keep in mind that God is watching all things we do..
He will be pleased when we do what pleases Him and will be disappointed when we fail..
Little do we know for what purpose God places each of us at any given time..
Both we and the poor needy person.. What is God's purpose for these poor souls?
Maybe to test our love for Him?

Ro:11:19: Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Ro:11:23: And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Ro:11:24: For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

No divided loyalties: money-love competes with Jesus. Selfish greed is as bad as carving your own little god and bowing down to it.
The greedy don't qualify as citizens in the kingdom of God
Jesus people live out the righteousness of Jesus love.
God will always provide for us and He tell us to be content with what we have, rather than chase the riches of the world..

1Tm:6:8: And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Many times the riches of the world can be really bad for us in the overall picture..

1Tm:6:9: But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

There is no inequality or partiality in Jesus' kingdom! God is not a respecter of persons..

Ac:10:34: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Unlike the the world we live in, in Jesus' kingdom the poor are treated with dignity and respect, the weak are protected, the stranger is welcomed. Church leaders must not be stuffy, power-mongerers with hefty pay packets: they're servants and should embody personal poverty - like the One they call Lord.

God Is With The Poor!

If the pastor does his job and feeds the sheep as instructed by our Father,

the results will be seen..!!

Ac:2:47: Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
