Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (1Ti 5:17)“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. (18)  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” The pastor should not have to be concerned that the physical needs of his family are being met. It harms the church. His mind needs to be focused on the things of God, especially upon “….the word and doctrine.”
