The world likes celebrities; the people who can make headlines. The church still needs people to proclaim Christ to this generation, but the preacher is not above the penitent who welcomes the message. We like to have our spiritual heroes, but the Lord Jesus said that the least influential person who believes the message is greater than the messenger. If all heaven is longing to see even just one sinner who repents (Luke 15:7), why do we celebrate one minister over another? It is worldly behaviour. There is only one class of Christian - a Christian! Whatever else we may think is really idolatry!
