I think what is good for the church should be the deciding factor but it usually never is.

I think it is extremely important for the flock to select it's new shepherd.

By its constitution my church will, as should any church.
But, if anyone thinks I am going to leave something that I have invested my blood, sweat and tears in to the first applicant that comes along they have got another thing coming.
Who else to better know the mind of God for a church than the shepherd who has been there.
The problem with laity is that they vote based on a sermon or a smile rather than the things that are really important.

Ok, someone tell me/PM me to what in tarnation is going on??? If the Rock church is in trouble I am MAD at the devil! (Well, even if it isn't I'm still mad at him).
I feel like going back home and slappin' some of yous (canadian, eh) silly.
Is this a reflection on the WD fiasco?
LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!

Does the mind of God automatically equate the son of the pastor?? If the church is following the mind of God...if it was the son of the pastor that needed to be the next pastor of that church....there would be unity in the decision. Right?
