In study this morning, ran across some verses in 1 Peter that is an important warning to some specific people in the church and all of us: "I WARN and counsel the elders among you (the pastors and spiritual guides of the church)... [2] Tend (nurture, guard, guide, and fold) the flock of God that is [your responsibility]. not by coercion or constraint, but willingly; not dishonorably motivated by the advantages and profits [belonging to the office], but eagerly and cheerfully; [3] Not domineering [as arrogant, dictatorial, and overbearing persons] over those in your charge, but being examples (patterns and models of Christian living) to the flock (the congregation)" (1 Peter 5:1-3 AMP).
