The Workaholic Pastor

February 17, 2015 by Jared Sparks Leave a Comment

The Family vs Outsiders

How the Family Views the Workaholic Pastor
1. Husband/Dad is never around.
2. Husband/Dad cares about other people more that he cares about me.
3. Dad never comes to my recital, game, drama, whatever.
4. I wish my Dad could disciple me.
5. Husband/Dad I need you, I am hurting, you are not there.

How the Outsiders View the Workaholic Pastor 
1. He is always available for anything.
2. I know this guy cares about me.
3. This guy is really supportive of his church family.
4. He works so hard for the good of other people.
5. When I see anyone who needs anything, I know the Pastor can help.

The Workaholic gets praise from everyone except his family. Pastor don’t mistake good work ethic with being a Workaholic. If you do, lives will be destroyed.

1 Tim 5:8 “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
