That kept his car and home messy, and he lacked on his finances only just to pay the bills when they were due, but loved the LORD with all his heart, and loved doing things for the LORD. Would you think this is a PASTOR in training? or a guy without balance or discipline in his life?

just because a person doesn't live the same way you do does not mean his life is off balance! Stop being judgemental (judge not, lest ye be judged)! Goodness, you are no better then anyone else! If that's the way he chooses to live then let him, as long as he is following the Lord I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you have to keep your house as clean as thy neighbors

IN TRAINING, maybe. God requires His people to be clean and holy, so during his "training" this guy needs to seriously consider the state of affairs in his home. On the other hand, I think he's doing an excellent job on his finances (1Timothy 6:8). He obviously isn't slaving for riches (verse 9, 10). His focus seems to be on his ministry. He just needs to be sure that what he's preaching is the truth by studying the Bible carefully and making sure that what he believes didn't come from tradition or misinterpretation!

There are more important things in life than a neat home and car. He obviously places his priorities on more important things. He does pay his bills. Sounds like a nice guy.

This person has placed his priorities with God - he is taking care of his finances, albeit barely, but simply does not care for the things of this world. This is a lesson we could all benefit from.

Pastor in training. Last will be first and first will be last. Poor will inherit the Earth, not the rich.

I love the guy who said it sounds like John the Baptist. Great answer and I can't do better. Two thumbs up to him.

ROFL.
This could be John the baptist reborn.
Worldly discipline has nothing to do with GODly wisdom.
Shalom.
