 And those things are very dangerous because they can leech over into the way the church thinks about her leaders and about how those leaders think about themselves. This was a problem in Jesus' day, of course. He castigated the Pharisees because they loved the first greetings in the marketplace. Not because they got them, but because they loved it. And so there's a great temptation here for pastors to forget that the only authority they have is the authority of Jesus.
