Thank you especially to Hidden in Him, Alex 2165, and john1.
In response to Vlad's question, I think a pastor's life mainly consists of writing and delivering a sermon on Sunday. I'm sure that I'm ignorant on other duties.
In response to Hidden in Him's question, That old man would require help, yes probably. However, it sounds like the exception to the rule and I don't think we should write the rules based on the exceptions.
Examining Jesus's life, I see that Jesus worked to feed Himself and I infer His family as well. I don't see that Jesus required wages from His ministry targets. These same type of targets exist today and I see that they expect the same from us.
Aye, I am young (well kind of at 34). I accept that I have yet more to learn.
This Xtian chat/ forums is the best thing that's happened to my life in years!
