Pastor. I Don't Want Your Job.

This is a follow-up to being a lonely apologist. https://deeperwaters.wordpress.com/2...want-your-job/

Pastors can be just like other leaders in one respect. Type A people believe that 'iron sharpens iron' and surround themselves with other Type A people. Type B people believe that competition might show them up as inferior and surround themselves with Type C people.

I enjoy "multiplying" my Ministry by involving people who are gifted in areas I'm not.

I know Pastors who are reluctant to have somebody "really good" take their place when they are on vacation - to me, that shows a real insecurity. I always try to make sure to have the best person I can get to take my place when I'm away.

I'm puzzled by this sentence:

It can often be because many of us can be Seminary trained and know that we’re talking about and sadly, some pastors probably fear that their jobs could be in danger.

I suspect you meant to write "what," not "that."

Another problem:

but I am till just as you are, a servant.

Perhaps you meant "still," not "till." Let's not give Farrell Till too much publicity, shall we?

Good article, anyway!

What's to be puzzled about? It's an obvious typo. It's clear what he meant to type. Every small typo doesn't justify its own post.

Things like this are often a problem for people who don't grasp the concept of "context".

Some people tend to be turned off by obvious errors. That's a reason why I'm being so hard on Nick. Besides, why not point them out for correction?

It doesn't seem to me that Truthseeker is being malicious in his correction, or that he's not grasping the context. I constantly recheck my own posts for grammar errors (which are numerous). I think definitely on a blog ministry type post a certain degree of spell-check editing goes a long way in conveying professionalism to anonymous readers, and that does have some effect on the impact of one's meaning (or so it seems to me).

Fair enough.

Would a PM not be more appropriate?

Would a PM not be more appropriate?

I actually had that as part of my response, then deleted that part.

[Cerebrum123]

Would a PM not be more appropriate?

My guess is it's a convenience factor. It's easier to note the error while this page is still up, and the error is still fresh in your mind. A PM takes a bit longer to do that.

I've pointed out some wording/spelling errors in previous threads/blog posts. I didn't personally think it was a big deal.

One problem with PMs is that nobody but the receiver and sender know about the error in question, that a correction is already suggested.
