I don't ask anything from God for the privilege, only God abundantly deliver and minister to him an everlasting open door entrance into Heaven. My Flock highly esteem me. I have no rebellious Saints in my Church. I Never Ever have to remind them I am an Elder. My Saints and God know me. I do believe I have been misjudged on this forum. And I fear lest any be tempted from obeying the Truth. May God have Mercy. Lemon is right on time! God Bless!

Terry, I do not know you but I have concern whenever I read statements like these. First they are NOT YOUR flock. They are God's children. And then there are reasons to remind people that you are an elder? You are a servent of God and as such a servent to God's children. To feel a need to REMIND someone that you are an elder says you may have an ego problem or a control problem. (and yes I know what you said and I am not saying you have this issue just responding as I see it)
I love my pastor and back him 100%. Not because he is better than me or more spiritual than me but because he teaches truth and is a humble servent of God to those that are entrusted in his care.
Like I said, I do not know you and I am not assuming you really feel the way I perceive your comments, but I do feel concern whenever I hear or see such comments from someone entrusted with souls of others.
I simply find a minister of God 'reminding' others that they are the 'elder' or feeling the need to remind them as egotistical and/or controlling. Neither of those are godly or holy.
again I am not saying you are just responding to your comments.
