President or Preacher

[Dr. Shane]

Pastor John Carter asks a question.

Who wants to be President of the United States when you can preach the gospel?

Which would you rather be?

[phkrause]

Interesting question

Seems to me, it doesn't really matter which one we'd chose, as both are called to serve by God.

Romans 13:1

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

[GreatLakesGramma]

I'd rather be whatever God calls me to be.

Neither one is more important than other, granted that both are Christian men. It would be a mistake to say that a Preacher's job is more important than that of Christian plumber. Likewise, a President's life should never be valued more than life of people. That's the fundamental fallacy of statism and Christian oligarchy.

[Outta Here]

Which opinion is more valuable--a president's, preacher's, or plumber's--when the issue is not one of "expertise" in any of those fields?

[fccool]

Are we value person by their opinions, or by the mere fact that they are human?

[Dr. Shane]

I think the point was that being a preacher brings about more job satisfaction than being President of the United States.

[fccool]

I don't really think that it should. Do you really believe that any given preacher gets more satisfaction out of his job than you or I? I certainly don't think so. I find my job satisfying in its own way.
