"One of the most fascinating things about the modern day practice of the CEO/pastor is that ministers seem to know--or sense--that their job is non-scriptural. As a pastor, and later an evangelist and until this very hour, I have brought up this question to scores of fellow ministers: "Where is the practice of a pastor in Scripture? I cannot find it." The most reaction I have ever received was either agreement or a resigned shrug! No honest pastor will defend the role of today's pastorate in the light of the New Testament."
