			<description><![CDATA[you know when you read the Bible, you find the Apostle were biovactional. They did not seem to mind, in fact, Apostle Paul (Rav Shaul) used it for his freedom to speak the truth in love. If we had more sr. ministers willing to serve a pastorate bivocational, just think of how much more the church could to do be a help in community with the growing needs of hunger, utilty bills, ect. Too much money is wasted on Sr. Ministers, salary, housing, utility. If the adverage had that benifit, how much less of a struggle life would be for them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Noting the trend several years ago, Judson Press published a practical resource on this topic titled simply The Work of the Bivocational Minister by Dennis Bickers. Highly recommended!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've been bivocational for a year now while planting a church. Honestly, it's the best thing I've ever done. 1. It keeps me in touch with the life of the everyday Joe who comes to my church. In other words I don't program my people to death because they work and have families just like me. Being at church every night isn't realistic. 2. It also keeps me from living in a churchy fish bowl. I'm forced to work and interface with non believers even pagans so I'm forced to practice what I preach. Being bivocational isn't easy but it's definitely proven to be a good thing for me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think Paul was just a "biblical precedent." I believe he established a standard. Too many "full time" pastors get elevated to "star" status and forget about ministry. I've even seen some that compromise their God because of their board or big contributors. When their livelihood is tied to saying the "acceptable" things (a social gospel) instead of the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the message of the gospel gets watered down.]]></description>
