- What does Second London Confession (2LCF) 26.10 say about the work of pastors? What are they to devote themselves to?
- Given the hard and important work that pastors are called to do, what obligation do church members have to their pastors? If you could choose only one word, what would it be? Church members must show ___________ to their pastors.
- 1 Timothy 5:17-19 says that church members are to give double honor to their pastors/elders, especially to those who labor in preaching and teaching. What is meant by double honor? What are the two kinds of honor to be shown to pastors or elders?
- Do the Scriptures teach that pastors are to be compensated financially? Which passages teach this?
- If you were to argue from the “light of nature” for the support of minsters who labor in the ministry of the word, what would you say?
- Paul and Barnabas decided not to receive compensation from the people to whom they ministered (1 Corinthians 9:1–14). Why did they not make use of this right? Is this approach to be regarded as the ideal?
