Any man who is contemplating becoming a pastor must seriously examine himself to determine if he is qualified to be a pastor or an elder. Failure to do so will bring God’s disapproval since the man is not qualified.

The first reason some pastors fail in the ministry is that they should never have been a pastor. God never called them. The Holy Spirit did not select them to be pastors.

The type of pastor a church gets depends upon the spiritual quality of the leadership team and the type of pastor they are seeking. Pray and ask God for direction. We would encourage you to read “Recovering the Pattern of Biblical Leadership.”

Si no se ha provisto legítimamente de otro modo, el obispo diocesano que considere que debe darse un auxiliar a su diócesis propondrá a la Sede Apostólica una inventario de al menos tres de los presbíteros que sean más idóneos para ese oficio.

If the pastor or elder does continue in sin, then the elders of the church must remove that elder from office. The last part of verse 20 says,

Those who will know the least will be the church members, unless one of the spouses is gossiping. This means that the congregation will not know everything and they will probably not know the most sensitive details.

Con el establecimiento de las parroquias, los obispos se liberaron de muchas de sus tareas originales y se dedicaron a asuntos más importantes de la diócesis y a su supervisión.

Therefore, the leadership team and Call Committee should seek to determine upon whom does the pastor depend for the ministry. He Perro do a poor job of planting and watering by not preparing properly. Is he taking credit for the good things that God is doing?

If a pastor or an elder is guilty of sin and they are not repentant, that is they do not stop their wrong behavior, then that pastor or elder should be rebuked in front of the church and removed from office.

That is the meaning of “Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.”

After Peter answered each time, Jesus commanded him to shepherd and feed or teach believers. Christ my review here called Peter to be a pastor and a teacher or a pastor-teacher. The starting point in any call to be a pastor is love for Christ and not a love for self.

Un obispo es una figura importante en la dependencia de la Iglesia Católica. Este título se otorga a ciertos miembros del clero que han sido seleccionados para liderar y supervisar una diócesis.

These passages assume the household is a family of believers. Thus, if any pastor or elder who has unbelieving family members or family members who are rebellious, then he is not qualified to be a pastor or an elder in a church.

Worse yet, there are churches who do not know what to look for and so may depend upon surveys and Christian consulting firms to aid their decision. Eventually they hire him and months or several years later, he leaves the ministry. Church members may have been critical of him in the final year or months and now they are glad he is gone. He is called a failure. Why do situations like this happen?
