Let's look at some important Bible verses before we get into the topic...
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Romans 14:12
Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. Hebrews 13:17
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 1 Corinthians 6:9
With that said... listen to the first link below.
Pastors you absolutely must, must, live a life of integrity. You are held to a higher standard than other believers, your life affects not just the believers you shepherd, but can greatly damage the Christian witness/Christianity in the community and the world if you fall. It can also destroy your family and their faith as well.
Church policy needs a change today. Asap. Ensure the Pastor signs an agreement that he will not use Ai or LLM to write his sermons. It is an integrity, character and a lying issue. Plus as Ai becomes more widely used any basic search someone does with it will expose those pastors as frauds. Pastor do not do this it will ruin your career and you will have much to answer to God for. Do not buy sermons nor use generative ai to create your sermons. You are paid to study and preach the Scriptures. Being in the Word needs to be a part of the core of your life and blesses you as you study for the sermon during the week too.
Church Pastoral Search Committee
You need to make a policy for your pastor either an adendum to their job contract, or and as part of your new hire contract.
At minimum...
*No Ai or LLM sermons
*No buying or downloading sermons
*Church is to put every sermon through Ai checking systems.
*Pastor will lose his job if he is caught diwnloading, using Ai LLMs for sermons.
*Pastors work needs limits and boundaries. Focus is on Preaching & studying Scripture
*Decons need to be doing the other work in the church, so pastor can do his job. List the specific pastors responsibilities as shepherd, and the parameters... and what things the decons will do as specific examples listed.
* Require the pastors contract to include the Billy Gragam rule
*Include how the church will handle a pastors sins with Matt 18, escalation and bringing it to the church if he doesnt repent or it is a sin of pastoral disqualification.
*Require him to have accountability partners in the church among the mature godly men, regular meet ups and to have accountability partners aming other pastors in the association or nearby same denomination if there's no association group.
