like you do. I am preaching at a church right now. They asked me to be their pastor. Its for no pay. I preach because God has called me too. I told them that at this point, I can not be a pastor. I said that I will fill the pulpit but pastoring is a full time job. I feel that a true pastor should be able to fill a fulltime roll and be paid as such. Pastoring is a 24/7 job no matter day or night. The reason our churches aren't reaching out and working is because the pastors that are bi-vocational can't put the time into the church that they need or want to. I am talking about this "problem" with our SBC director of missions and other preacher/pastor friends now. I pray that God will use me in full time ministry one day. I believe that he will but it will be in his time.
This is exactly how I feel about my current position. I am not pastoring, I am our associate pastor, but long to serve full time. I am currently holding down a job, and eagerly look forward to the day when i can walk away and follow after Jesus "Full Time"! Not only as a follower, but a full time pastor.
