Stepping Stone


I was taken aback when the associate pastor, who is relatively new to the congregation, mentioned he just finished his master’s and would someday like to be a professor. I now question if he, as well as the church leadership who hired him, see his position with our church simply as a stepping stone to becoming a college professor, rather than a building block for the local church. Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also…No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money” (Matt 6:21,24 NIV).
