Jude 2

Today was our last day at the New Albany Church so I am no longer Pastorsam. Please join us in prayer for continued guidance from the Lord for our ministry.

God Bless You- Sam Smith

I told him to change his name to "The minister formerly known as pastorsam" but I guess that was too long to type in every time he logs in. (I don't know if it would fit in the space!)

It's a little silly, but he wanted to change it. But, he is still the same sam.

Sam, here's the plan:

1. Trust in the Lord - with ALL of your heart.
2. Don't lean on your own understanding.
3. Acknowledge Him (the Lord) in ALL your ways.
4. He will direct your path.

My prayers are with you and your family as you follow Him.

"the minister formerly known as pastor Sam" wouldn't fit in the space given to register a username

God Bless You- Sam Smith

Praying here "justsam" for the Lord to use you and your family

I don't see why the title Pastor would not still be applicable, unless you are resigned to never pastor again. After all, the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Exactly. PG can be thanked for my decision to leave mine up as pastorables.

...which is what I said...

btw, soulsearcher, I like that.

But Poimen, you changed yours to Cleopas, remember?

I am praying for you justsam and your family. I know that you will hear His Voice and wilol follow.

Strange.....I have been called Pastor more after I the pastorate than I ever did while pastoring.

Sam...may I suggest changing your username to a symbol?

Something like © would work perfect!

Pastorsam,

Just because you do not fill the roll of servant to a "local church," does not mean you are not a pastor.

If God has called you to pastor, and you have accepted his call,
where does it say you must serve in the pulpit of a "local church?"
God apparently has something else for you at this time.

You may serve God's people where ever you are. You may visit the sick,
you may visit those in prison, you may perform marriages, or preach funerals....etc.
Why does it have to be a formal pulpit as we seem to think of in today's society?

I wish you and your family well.

By the way, Is R.P. your area presbyter or whatever they are called?
If so, catch him up and rub his head real hard, he is my brother.

I know this has to be hard for you. We love you no matter what your user name is.

Tracy wrote:no matter what your user name is.

Exactly. You have great worth apart from your performance!

Oh, I believe you are still very much Pastor Sam. I don't think a little thing like the absence of a pulpit is going to take you down from your calling....and your heart.

Pastor is a title.....ministry is a lifestyle. You will always be a minister....

Looking forward to what God has in store.

prayers continue, my friend.
