question
Do you guys see any difference between the terms/office of "preacher," "minister," or "pastor"?
I know the Spirit gives different gifts...but my experience has been that "preachers" are very political & self-absorbed, kind of in love with hearing themselves talk. That definitely includes the tv preachers I've seen.
A "minister"? I'm not sure why some people prefer that term. Open to ideas.
A pastor is what I long to be...I believe I am called to care about people, not yell at them, not build an empire...just love them and let God do the rest.
