Pastors are celebrated, criticized and often misunderstood. They are misunderstood because many people do not understand the depth of their labor. A good pastor will labor in preparing sermons and bible study lessons. The preparation includes prayer time. Pastors are criticized for not spending enough time in the office when they are in the field and for spending too much time in the field when they can be in the office. A good pastor should be concerned about the sheep in their congregation and the welfare of the community.
