Also...it disturbs me just a bit that so many people expect to be monetarily compensated for every little thing they do. For goodness' sake, doesn't anyone just give to God anymore?
I suppose sacrificial giving and living is a thing of the past.

Just curious, how many of you attend a church that has a paid Counselor on staff?
If a church needs to pay a counselor for their services, that's a church I don't think I'd like to be part of. Sounds like the church has a lot of problems to need a paid counselor.

Our Administrative Pastor happens to have his masters in Counseling, and is also a part of the AACC (Christian network). It's great, because we send almost all of the counseling to him, and we do very little of it ourselves. My hubby doesn't have the personality to counsel; he tends to tell people what to do and actually expects them to follow through. LOL! He's not good at just sitting and listening for hours.

That is great you have someone else to help in the counseling. If he were not there, would yall hire a Counselor?
Then the paid workers can do all the door knocking, hours of intereceeding and bible study while the rest of us just faithfully pay tithes and go home and watch American Idol
