at our church i have recently learned what i've suspected for a long time....Christians are as ruthless as anybody. I had been called to preach at our church for the past 3 years and have filled in on Sunday nights and also the pulpit on Sunday morning when our then-pastor left town. I have also filled in on other churches about a dozen times in the past couple of years. When our pastor left, the church formed a committee to begin a pastor search. I was asked to submit a resume, but i felt at only 36, i didn't have the experience and also with a large family, i didn't feel i could devote the time to be a pastor. after time, and voting down a couple of others, some people in our church who really run much of the business, decided to have their son-in-law run for pastor and recently was voted in....since then, people have asked me why i didn't "run" and honsetly i wasn't asked and also i felt the responsibility was too great. he is in his 20s and has no training? what is the best route?
