Pastors that relies on His education to teach and to Preach is doing his job under his own strength and power. But the man that spends time in Prayer and Fasting receives his knowledge from God by the way of the Holy Spirit. Don't get me wrong studying the Bible with mans commentaries is good, but weigh all teachings using the Holy Spirit as a means of discernment. If what we read is giving the man that wrote it Glory it may be about God, but not from God.

14 When the festival was about half finished, Jesus went to the Temple area and began to teach.
15 The Jewish leaders were amazed and said, “How did this man learn so much? He never had the kind of teaching we had!”
16 Jesus answered, “What I teach is not my own. My teaching comes from the one who sent me.
17 People who really want to do what God wants will know that my teaching comes from God. They will know that this teaching is not my own. 18 If I taught my own ideas, I would just be trying to get honor for myself. But if I am trying to bring honor to the one who sent me, I can be trusted. Anyone doing that is not going to lie.
John 7: 14-18 ERV Bible.

I go to church but it's getting to be like a crunch as finacies are difficult for everyone as the days of Jesus is nearing and nearing, there will be perilious times, stressfull. I dont think it's fair to burden others with others bills, things could be done, get rid of the 400 channels on the cable, ditch the scuba diving and get rid of other things. I don't believe Pastors should look to people for their income, it is a personal thing, like getting a paycheck, and loving other's instead of burdening others. Paul said he didn't want to burden others financially, though a free will offering is welcome, why put stress and guilt, and condemnation on the people of God. Somethings going to change, or churches will soon close no one will go anymore...
