Heb 13:17 Obey your spiritual leaders and recognize their authority, for they keep watch over your soul without resting since they will have to give an account to God for their work. So it will benefit you when you make their work a pleasure and not a heavy burden.
Quit treating your Pastors common. Give them the honor they deserve. Quit calling them by their first name like they are your fishing buddies. Put a Pastor or Brother or Sister in front of their name. You will never truly receive a word from someone you don't honor and respect. That's why its so easy for you to complain about or criticize them. For 20 years i was treated two different ways, 1 was by those who called me Tony and 1 by them that called me pastor Tony. Those who called me pastor Tony made it a honor and a blessing to pastor. Unless you have pastored you have no idea of the pressure and weight that they feel everyday. Last thing honor their children as well they have a bright light pointed at their lives even if they don't deserve it. Their just kids like yours trying to grow up and learn to be men and women of God like everyone else. I promise you, you will grow and so will your church. Be blessed and give honor where honor is due.
