What could the temple do without its watchmen? 1 Chron.
9:24.
Then let the churches love their pastors, hear their pastors, be
ruled by their pastors, and suffer themselves to be watched over,
and to be exhorted, counselled, and if need be, reproved and rebuked
by their pastors. And let the ministers not sleep, but be watchful,
and look to the ordinances, to the souls of the saints, and the
gates of the church. Watch, man; WATCH, MAN; WATCH!
Duty Of Churches To The Ministry.
O churches, let your ministers be beautified with your love; that
they may beautify you with their love, and also be an ornament unto
you, and to that gospel they minister to you, for Jesus Christ's
sake.
Different Classes Of Ministers.
Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so
unspeakably great? Then this should teach the people to be very
careful to whom they commit the teaching and guidance of their
souls.
This is a business of the greatest concern: men will be careful to
whom they commit their children, whom they make the executors of
their wills, in whose hand they trust the writing and evidences of
their lands; but how much more careful should we be, unto whom we
commit the teaching and guidance of our souls. And yet most men are
in these matters least of all careful.
