Do the Math: Money Plus Merit Equals Better Teachers
Here's some clear thinking on an emotionally-charged issue.
Could the same rationale be applied to pastors and church planters? That is, that the greatest contributor to the spiritual health of the society is inspiring, devoted, caring pastors that lead with humility, vision, and passion?
Could devition to God be motivated by stronger role models in our churches and Christian ministries? Would our spiritual leaders be strengthened by greater emphasis on their nurture and care by more mature mentors, rather than depending on them to care for themselves as well as for those who follow them?
How could we develop and support systems for the growth of our spiritual leaders?
