Shortcomings! We all have them. No one needs to remind us; we tend to remind ourselves often enough.

What about our ministers and other church leaders? They have shortcomings as well; they don't need to be told often either. Here is what the Bible says we could/should do:

"Honor the officers of your church

who work hard among you and warn you against all that is wrong.

Think highly of them and give them your wholehearted love,

because they are straining to help you.

And remember, no quarreling among yourselves."

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:12, 13 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Think of your pastor and other church leaders. How can you honor them? Express your appreciation, tell them how you have been helped by their leadership and teaching, and thank them for their ministry in your life. If you say nothing, how will they know where you stand? Remember, they need and deserve your support and love expressed in practical ways."
