coconut.
here's what i see at my church.
a gifted pastor who was raised in the faith and lived and lives a godly life. he is fully qualified according to scripture, by virtue of his godly life and home, and able due to years of hard work and study.
he has shown himself approved, and he need not be ashamed.
he is fully equipped. he is our servant! he cares for us. he is the least among us.
i see elders who give of their time and love to serve the flock and help. they consider themsleves lesser than we are.
they serve us. they care for us.
i see all the people doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done.
i see some give money; some give time; some pray; some cut the lawn; some work with the municipality; some teach bible study; some make coffee; some teach the kids; some help with ppl's income tax; some do the shopping; some manage local missions....
like....what do you want me to say? not good enough? i need miracles or signs or whatever?
i don't....i just don't.
look what Paul was telling Pastor Timothy (who for some reason though Paul who could raise a dead kid and heal the sick, didn't heal Timothy's tummy troubles
):
2 Timothy 3
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God
10You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. 12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whoma you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of Godb may be competent, equipped for every good work.
