Exactly...far too many Christians are infatuated with a particularly
gifted pastor or priest.So much so that it can become a real issue within their faith and church.I have seen this happen,members of the church will leave and follow a pastor or priest when they are reassigned to another church! Some will even follow them to another state.They can lose focus on the message and fall in love with the clergy's personality or style.This becomes even more difficult when the pastor or priest they follow falls out of grace.They can then become sceptical of the
message.
Focus on the message not on the person who delivers it...
