In light of our obsession with all-stars in this culture, you can now vote for your favorite all-star pastor! Why should the athletes and actors get all the headlines? Vote now to promote those who do the most for Jesus!
There are a few simple rules to follow:
1. The person has to be living (I'm sorry if Jonathan Edwards is your homeboy. You're not allowed to vote for dead people).
2. You can vote for anyone who is a pastor, theologian, seminary president, seminary professor, etc. Don't worry - their theology doesn't matter.
3. You may only vote one time for one person.
4. As in basketball, the top five vote-getters will compose the "starting five." The next seven will make up the "bench."
5. You can vote by calling this toll-free number: 1-888-BEST-PASTOR.
6. Vote for any of the following or feel free to vote for someone not on the list:

My vote is for the pastor of a small church in Savannah, GA. You may have heard of him, maybe not. His name is Eric Carpenter. He is friendly, loving, a true servant, a faithful husband and father, and he loves God and the Bible. Also, it doesn't hurt either that he knows how to preach a good sermon. He was my "Paul" for a whole year, and I am grateful for his discipleship and his friendship.
Micah,
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. I very much enjoyed our time together as well.
I'm also glad that you didn't vote for Rob Bell or Joyce Meyer.
I think you should put your satire disclaimer at the top of the post. People will think you've lost your mind!
Alice,
Good idea. Thanks. You are the best.
Love, Eric
Eric,
In every satire there is an element of truth.
I have never met you, but I'm beginning to think Micah is right!
Greetings from Rome! (That's Rome IT-LY not Rome, Jawga).
Since I can't vote for anyone who has passed on then I can't vote for Pope John Paul II and will have to cast my ballot for All Star Pastor for His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
My Bishop, the Right Reverend Kevin Boland of the Diocese of Savannah, Georgia is pretty awesome too, as is my parish priest Father Jacek Szuster! As a matter of fact all of the Catholic Clergy in our Diocese Rock!
Snide remarks from the Baptists are eagerly awaited.
John,
Thank you for the compliment.
This weird phenomenon of all-star pastors seems to be growing all the time here in the USA. It's not healthy for the church. I wonder why we can't just look to Christ instead of adoring man.
Bad Catholic,
Sorry I forgot to include some Catholics on this list. I guess that just shows how Baptist I am.
I vote for Peter, the first and best pastor!
Joe,
This was supposed to be satire, but just out of curiosity - Where was Peter pastor?
