Been reading more and more entries made by other people.
I realized that too many people try to be 'A R Bernards'.
Simply, it is an compromising attitude of trying to be word-smart and not character-building.
One guy talked about the roles of 2 different groups of people.
No, none is reserved. I totally disagreed with the entry.
The process of judgement is the same for both.
You cannot say that an apple and a banana cannot be put into the same fruit basket just because of different vitamins.
Do not misrepresent roles and gifts.
The role remains role, but bringing different gifts.
A role is never a gift.
And a gift can never be a role without commitment.
One's role has to uphold responsibility.
The other'e role has to instill responsibility.
"To pastor is to be responsible for possibilities.
To thinketh is to be plausible to responsibilities." - cranberriesempty
Just because you cannot take intonations of poorer speakers, you begin to judge on intonations.
Intonations are like colors.
The values they carry are the vitamins.
Don't brainbash for something you don't know.
Don't misrepresent what God has pointed.

Homer A. Kent writes, “Pastors and teachers are named as one grammatical unit (by use of just one article in the Gk text)” (Ephesians: The Glory of the Church, Chicago: Moody, 1971, p. 72). Pastors (i.e., shepherds), as they care for the flock, are also teachers.
In Acts 20:28, Paul again refers to pastors. Here, however, he uses the verb form of the word, which is translated “to feed” (ASV) or “to care for” (ESV). Pastors feed, tend, and protect the church. They are to do all the things that a shepherd would do for a flock. Note in this verse that the church is called “the flock.”
Similarly, in 1 Peter 5:2, Peter encourages these servants by saying, “Tend the flock of God . . .” The word “tend” is again the verb poimaino, which W. E. Vine defines as, “to act as a shepherd” (Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, McLean: MacDonald, n.d., p. 427).
To tend is to be responsible for further possibilities.

Philippians 4:8:
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
The thinker's role is simply this verse.
It is not to explore blamelessly.
To dwell is to be plausible for responsibilities.

Don't lambaste.
It really reflects your stupidity.
