Care to comment on that?

You see...you just judged my post to be about me bashing preachers...I did not bash preachers at all...I am talking about Saints respecting Pastors and Pastors respecting the saints.
You are saying that those who prefer mega churches are somehow
"LAZY APOSTOLICS". I am not saying there are not 'lazy Apostolics, [Pastors as well as saints] but I am saying that many times what you consider being lazy is not laziness at all, but rather a feeling that one would rather/prefer to work in the area of one's calling or expertise than in all areas of church where there is a hole/need for a worker.
How does this tie into what I stated and you quoted? Well, I think that if Ministry was more sensitve to the callings, the areas of passion for their saints and try to place them or allow them to work in these areas then God would provide workers in the missing areas. It is a matter of trust, respect,a nd affirmation on both sides.
There have been examples by others, as well as by myself or those who take advantage of their positions, but there are just as many - if not more positive examples of Good Leadership and Involved saints. I still think the problem is one of "submission". The Bible tells us to submit to one another...this includes respecting one another, loving one another, thinking the best in one another, and affirming one another.
Many times what one preceives as "Laziness" might be other things, i.e., hurt, burn-out, lack of funding, lack of appreciation, lack of knowing the areas the person has a pasion for, lack of communication.
Blessings, Rhoni
