There are tons of web sites bemoaning the exodus of men from the exalted position of 'pastor'. Many of them are begging these men not to give up and are providing support programs for them in order to keep them in this unbiblical upper salaried position.
It appears that it has not entered their heads even once the possibility that maybe God is trying to say something.
That He may even be pulling all the props out from under these men. That maybe many of these men have finally smelled the Folgers and are waking up to the lie of their spot lighted rank.
That maybe God has actually opened their eyes to the scriptures on this matter. That their is not a shred of evidence in the NT that backs this lofty, lording over the folks construct in the first place but actually there is tons of scripture that renounces it.
That maybe just maybe God is doing what He said He'd do. He'd send a great shaking in the land and all that is NOT of Him will crumble to the ground. As He razed the temple (church building) to the ground in 70ad, He's repeating the shaking today in order to wake up a sleepy ekklesia, self satisfied and fat singing in chorus 'we have need of nothing' and yet they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. Having a name that they are alive and yet they are dead.
This exalted, one man in control deal has been one of the biggest destructions of the body of Christ, along with robbing the poor with the devilish tithe.
What will it take to wake up the delusional 'church' caked with false teaching, traditions of men, greed and arrogance?
These web sites speak loud and clear. Burn out among the exalted ones with titles and tithe pulling of which neither is sanctioned by His word nor the clerical position which is defined by the Deeds of the Nicolaitans which Jesus hates. That's right. Your Jesus hates the clerical positions. So do you think He would not bring it down in this shaking? A system that has kept Him from His rightful position as Head? A whole lotta shaking going on and it must begin with the house(the ekklesia) of God.
One more thing. Have you ever stopped to reason why is all the burn out going on if this self exalted position is really of God? It would not be rampant if this false upper position was His idea. I wonder who's idea it really was. Read: Isaiah 14 for a clue where this 'exalting one self' idea came from. Who exalted himself above the congregation here? I'll give you 3guesses. His evil spirit lives on through men.
