I thought I had made it clear, I don’t get paid by the church, nether do Missionaries, Bishops, Stake presidents, pianists, or teachers in the church.

there is a scripture in 1st peter 5 : 2 you might want to read
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy flucre, but of a ready mind;

1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1Ti 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward. 1Timothy 5:17, 18

Preaching the gospel is not work, not to me, not to any Christian it is no burden. Not being able to testify of Jesus, now that would be a burden too grievous to bear.

IMHO you twist the scripture, 1st peter 5 : 2 is clearly talking about preaching the word, there are many types of labor.

Believe what you will, it doesn't change the truth.
