Introvert Pastors

It appears that Salty thinks being a pastor and being an evangist are the same thing The pastor is to lead the flock. If a pastor does a good job Leading a good size flock, he will not have time for door to door evangelism.

Building a church around the personality of the pastor does not lead to a healthy church. Creating a good worship, bible study and brotherly love atmosphere leads to a healthy and growing church. This constant emphasis only on evangelism, does not lead to a healthy church.

 

Doesn't leading a church also mean leading them in evangelism? Paul told Timothy to do the work of an evangelist.

I agree that it is not just about evangelism, but it is also a part of leading a church.

 

I understand that you are talking only of your own preferences, but does not each personality type have both strengths and weaknesses. n extrovert may say extraneous things, but an introvert (and I am one) may leave unsaid some things that ought to be said.

Both groups have issues only the Spirit of God can balance out.

 

God doesn't call the equipped, he equips those He calls. If God has truly called a man to pastor, then God will give that man the strength and grace to do it, just like He did for Moses.

 

Yep. That's why you did radio. An extrovert would be on TV. :laugh:

 

There are extroverts who drive many introverts crazy because they will not stop talking. They talk, talk, talk. It is exhausting to others.

 

Thank you. I want the sermons to be Scriptural.

 

Perfect.....thats the excuse Ive heard time after time with the end result being they never evangelize.

 

As spoken by an extrovert.
