Ezell focused on the unity of the early church, and encouraged pastors to follow the example. These folks were one in faith, fellowship and function. They had unity. You look at Jesus, he had a lot of fun, didn't he. We are to be a preservative and a purifying agent.
Salt also stings, and it burns and it irritates.
Pastors must understand that they are held to a higher standard said Dr. Hershael York of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. Rather than obeying God's command to speak to a rock so that water would pour out for his people, Moses struck the rock in a fit of rage. Despite years of intimate and faithful service to God, as a result of his momentary disobedience Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. Pastors today face similar situations when they indulge even briefly in anger, lust or other sin. You cannot lose your salvation but you can lose so much.
