Help, I am a pastor!

--- Quote ---All in all, I've had four families from 3 churches ask/recommend that I start a fellowship, or even a full-fledged church. My wife also encourages it. I, like you, have resisted. What if I teach them something wrong, I worry. The full responsibilities (Ezekiel 34:2-6) are absolutely daunting, too. As long as I feel I'm still relearning the basics, I cannot with a good conscience do it. I suspect that there will come a day when God calls me to teach again, but today is not that day.

Steve that is one of the most spiritually mature posts I've seen in awhile.

Welcome Steve,
I concur with the above, it's a weighty responsibility to teach others the meaning
of the Scriptures. A heavily accountable activity to say the least. I'm naturally
drawn to humble minded people, especially the older I get and you are displaying
this quality.
He who humbles himself will be exalted; you have put Truth first and your desire
to teach second. Amen !
I understand about the desire to teach, always had and have that, too, but when
conveying any of these Truths to others outside the Forum, I keep it simple and
direct them here. So many people I want to write from the past. Try to focus to
on one point of major importance, like just the word " Eternal " and how it shouldn't
be in Scripture or the fallacy of " Free Will " and wait for a response before adding
more information.
Glad your here, Samson.
