2Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Excellent answer. In regard to preaching, you hit the nail on the head!
When I saw the headline, right away I wondered how much and what kinds of authority the writer believes a pastor has. (Furthermore, whose definition of “pastor” is he using?)
Since it’s mostly/only a KJV word—everywhere else, it’s better translated “shepherd”—I tend to suspect those who use it of having an unbiblical-clergy-vs-laity, Roman Catholic or apostate-protestant worldview.
