In the passage we are studying today we discover the Lord's perspective concerning what a minister ought to be commended by. Do you ever say, "man that guy is a good pastor?" What exactly are you thinking of when you say that? Are you considering his personality, his humor, his intelligence or his speaking ability, or honor given by the world around? Or are you considering his kindness, patience, tribulation, needs and sincere love? May we align our evaluation with the Lord's as we listen to this message.
