Ephesians 4:11-12
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The office of a Pastor is not to be mistaken for fame, notoriety, elitism or celebritism. Not because you see a Pastor standing behind a pulpit with a microphone in front of a congregation. It's a congregation and not an audience. He/she is a Minister and not an entertainer. He/she is a servant and not a celebrity. He/she is to walk in complete humility and righteousness while serving God's flock. The Bible says, to whom much is given, much is required. The Bible also says, the Shepherd can preach you into the Kingdom of God, and himself be a cast away.
