Quite revealing...
Quite revealing! I have no other way to say it. I just renewed my listing on Ministry Search and I read and re-read some of the adds placed by organizations. Quite revealing!
If you visit the site, try to read the adds through a different filter. Strip away what you know about the church and look for the theme of making disciple and fulfilling the Great Commission. Do you find it? How so?
Really, what kind of leader are some of these churches/organizations looking for?
It is revealing when one discovers that what we assume to be important often hinders us from fulfilling that which is most important.
Any thoughts?

I see very little mention of gifts or calling. I have always thought it would be nearly impossible for Jesus Himself to get hired at most churches. Could you imagine the first interview.
Pastor Search Committee Chairperson – I see here you don’t have any actual ministry jobs. I understand you spoke in the synagogue when you were 12 but what have you done recently? Do you have a DVD of a recent speaking engagement? I understand you were home schooled but where did you attend college? It says here that even the people of your hometown don’t recognize your calling, is that true? Quite honestly we have heard that you challenge the religious leaders and we worry that you cannot work under authority…
Good thoughts! Poor Jesus, the Savior of the world, the creator, rejected by the church to serve as pastor!
He just doesn't qualify as the leader we are looking for.
Does anyone care about this issue?
