Understanding Christianity

In Judges Chapter 9, we see the treachery that results from the wicked leadership of Gideon's son from a concubine, the man, Abimelech. The main idea of this lengthy chapter is this: You get what you ask for when you accept bad leadership. Why do churches sometimes accept unqualified leaders as their pastors? The books of 1 Timothy and Titus clearly set forth the biblical qualifications for pastors so that there is no ambiguity or misunderstanding on the character and aptitude of spiritual leaders. Why do churches bypass these clear teachings, wiggle, or compromise on these when selecting a pastor? Dr. Sean Cole also explains how 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 relates to Judges 9 regarding spiritual leadership. www.seancole.net
