There is a crisis in our churches. Pastors are leaving the ministry in record numbers. The seminaries are not producing enough new pastors to offset the number of pastors who retire or resign from the ministry every year. This means many congregations go without a pastor. Especially alarming is the number of pastors who resign their position because they just can’t take it anymore. How should a congregation support its pastor and his family? Today we look to the Word of God and consider what God’s people owe their pastor.
