The short-term consequences of an arrangement may outweigh all others. In business, however, such decisions can be reversed as necessity dictates. This is not the case with ministers. They are the caretakers of God's flock and must be carefully selected. Anyone who has cared for sheep understands the nature of Christ's description of himself as the Good Shepherd and us as his sheep.
Sheep are helpless and stupid creatures which have an amazing ability to do themselves harm.
I well remember one of my first direct encounters with sheep. My wife's grandfather had a small flock. One Easter vacation we visited his Indiana farm. A mature ewe walked up a leaning board fence and stepped off into the next pasture. The fence sprang back up and the lamb could not re-cross.
