One day it occured to me, through God's prompting, that if I call myself a mature Christian, that it is not my pastor's job to "feed" me. It is my responsibility to develop, to work on, to treasure and mature in my relationship with Christ. How dare I expect a pastor, whose job it is to shepherd a flock, to be responsible for feeding me? Shepherds lead their flocks to green pastures, but the sheep eat the grass on their own. Shepherds lead their flocks to water, but the sheep do the drinking.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long response...this :)Deneenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12986170849677315200noreply@blogger.com
