October is Pastor Appreciation Month

October is Pastor Appreciation Month 
 
Honoring God's  Anointed

 We often hear of  the changes,
That take place in the churches of today,
Where the morals  and the values we held on to,
Are constantly eroding away.

The  adulterers, the divorced and the gays,
Are filling the pulpits  worldwide,
How it must grieve the heart of our Lord,
As His standards are  all pushed aside.

But yet there remain a few pastors,
Who are not  swayed to fit in with the rest,
They bring forth God's Word with all  boldness,
And are willing to withstand any test.

They're not ashamed  to uphold ALL God's truths,
No matter how
unpopular they may be,
For they know we must adhere to EACH scripture,
And obey His commands  faithfully.

I'm so thankful that I have such a pastor,
Who will stand  and preach what we must hear,
His desire is to reach all those  listening,
That we may grow and to God's presence draw near.

I  appreciate his hard work and dedication,
Teaching us to walk the straight and  narrow way,
May God bless him for his steadfast commitment,
To the Lord  and to His people everyday.
