A Pastor is...

...strong
...loving
...forgiving
...merciful
...wise
...joyful
...following God's will
...able to admit when he's wrong
...helpful
...ever hopeful
...shepherd to all in the flock, not just a few
...and, ultimately, human.

A pastor is God's representative on earth. He is held to a higher standard, but he should be forgiven just like anyone else. Being a pastor is hard work. Satan tries to throw stumbling blocks in life's pathway at every turn. That just means that we need to pray even more for our pastors. We need to lift them up in prayer every day. The message the pastor brings is not the pastor's message, but God's message to us. We can't let Satan stand in the way of that special delivery.
