How to worship your pastor

[Sister Alvear]

women pastors has nothing to do with it...I know a LOT of men pastors that are worshipped...I say balance has more to do with it than anything...a lot of unbalanced Jim Jones still around....

We have some very humble ladies in Brazil that take care of churches and no they are NOT controlling....

Paul had them, too, and honored them.

I learnt a lesson from my Portuguese teacher 45 years ago...She said, In the course of your life as a missionary some Brazilians will do you wrong, take advantage of your kindness, take you for money, and all that comes with being a missionary but never forget there will be those that will love you enough to take from their meager living and give to you, there will be those that will love you and protect you...so in the course of life never make the mistake many missionaries make when some one does you wrong and use the expression in your anger...THESE BRAZILIANS.... do not class everyone in the same boat because of some personal experince...I took her advice...she continued and said always say...Jose..or Maria or whoever did me wrong and you will always have a host of "good ones" at your side to help you....DITO and FEITO....said and done....my life has been lived...yes I had a few bad experiences but I have never grouped them all together....like anything else there are good and bad...
If you do not believe in women pastores that is your stand but never say they are all just alike for that is NOT true....

Thats awesome sister...I just would NEVER sit under a woman pastor because of that verse.(among other problems it can "feminize" the men of the church) It says what it says. But thats just me....
