Here's an excellent post by James Savastio on fact that for many today, some pastor across the country or even the world is more of an influence on their lives than their own elder(s) are.

My Pastors name is Jonathan Lilly. He is a bit younger than me but he is a good man. He is more of a Barnabas (and Encourager) than a Paul. I like and trust him a lot.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."
