You know the kind of respect you gave to your substitute teachers in school! The ministry is not much different! An experienced retired Pastor substituted for Pastor’s who were on vacation or sick or found themselves in situations where they could not shepherd their flock for a short period of time. This Pastor covered a denominational district of about 25 churches so he sometimes found himself very busy! So he got the call Saturday night that he would have to pastor this church Sunday in a rural district of south Texas! He thought he did a good job because as the cue of people lined up after the service to greet the pastor the compliments were encouraging! However this one member told the pastor his sermon was boring and he fell asleep during the service! Pastor apologized and told him he would do better next time! This man got back at the end of the line instead of leaving and told the pastor his English was poor and his Bible knowledge was lacking! The Pastor again apologized and told him he would study his Bible more in the future! Then a church elder interrupted the pastor in the cue and told him not to pay any attention to this guy for all his criticism because he only repeats what the congregation members say!
