Sundays Teaching and Hobbies

Just so we are all totally clear on this,  I am all for people having hobbies in the body of Christ.  What I was combating in Sunday’s teaching was the pastor of a church who thinks his goal in life is being a great golfer, fisherman, sportsman, etc.   His focus should instead be on doing what he is called to do which is pastor the church that he was called to.  There are too many lazy pastors (ministers) and Paul’s call to work is an important one in the ministry today.  I was not saying you can’t be an athlete or ever do something like go camping if you want to serve the Lord faithfully.  Hope this clarifies things for some of you and I will further clarify this next Sunday.
