It's a great blessing for a church to have a good pastor, and the pastor to have a good church, and they remain together for many years.

Most of the churches seem to go through pastors left and right. My shoes often last me longer than the pastors of several area churches last.

I've noticed that too. Sometimes it may be the church did not know the pastor well enough, and or the pastor did not know the church well enough.

I've seen that happen with one of our local churches. It seems they are in such a rush to fill the pastor position they grab one fast rather than actually taking the time to gather many applications, going over them completely and then doing a thorough interview.

A nearby church which has had this problem recently asked our pastor to help them in selecting their next pastor. After he looked over their questions they ask prospects to fill out he said it was no wonder they had problems. They didn't ask much and what they did ask didn't get to the core of a prospects beliefs. Our pastor wrote them a new questionare and has been helping them go over the applications. So far, out of dozens of applications and questionares sent in, only one prospect has answered all the questions biblically and our pastor has suggested they interview this man.

No doubt, having them there to preach for a couple of Sunday's, does not give them enough to know if they're right for the job or not, that is unless they know the man, and had some good references.

We just finished the book of Hebrews in our Wednesday night Bible study. Kind of sad because we won't be meeting again for several months.

Our latest snow,




We did not get near as much as expected, yet in Northwest Arkansas they got much more than us.

[John81]

Some folks got 1 to 2 foot of snow. Worse yet, some areas got ice and the dreaded black ice! I'm thankful to God we have not had the ice.

[JerryNumbers]

The northwest part of our state got about 24" of snow, glad we didn't. So pretty today, sun shining, the sky is so blue, temp is setting at 31.4º @ 12:10 PM.

[John81]

Sunny here today too, and VERY bright with all the white snow.

[Bro Jim]

Sunny and 24º no snow.

[John81]

I do believe I'll go do some reading here in a bit. :bible:

[JerryNumbers]

The skies looks as if storms of the worse kind could come at anytime,

[HappyChristian]

Ugh - we are supposed to get more snow. It was so nice last week, with the temp actually getting up into the 50's. Most of the snow melted, and then it hit again. Not too much accumulation, but lots of ice. And now, tonight, 4-8 inches expected.

[John81]

We actually recently hit 70 but now it's cold, gloomy, windy and storms on the way.

[JerryNumbers]

Temp isn't bad, but I believe we have rough weather on its way. Storms comes with spring time, oh, have several flowers blooming, so pretty.
