Jeremiah 3:16; Luke 1:17
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed
you with knowledge and understanding.
In day four of our family discussion series, our focus is on the church
and pastors in parenting his flock. See, pastors are the under shepherd of God's
house, and they are assigned by Him to provide, protect and care for his
congregation. This includes imparting the truth of God's Word, His moral laws
and commandments while encouraging holy living and loving God for who He is and
what He has done and continues to do in the lives of humanity.
Pastors are to teach the children of his church sound doctrine and to
remain faithful to God's Word and be willing to be chastised by God out of love
for His people. Being that God is love; therefore, pastors are to love his
congregation equally as this emulates God.
The church is the spiritual wife of the pastor and the children of the
church are his children; therefore, the pastor has the moral obligation to
teach, love and set an example for the children of the church so what is being
taught in the home will coincide with fatherly home teachings.
The church as a whole is responsible for godly teaching of the children
in its midst. The church as a ministry is to teach its young as this can be
accomplished through organized church classes, the adults' lifestyles, and the
mothers of the church providing godly wisdom to the children of the church.
A church and its pastors that teach is one that is growing in Christ
and have youth as it bedrock.
