Many faithful pastors have known intense hatred from some people in the
church where they have pastored, who feel threatened by an uncompromising
witness. In the book The Pastor In Profile, Adolph Bedsole wrote about
troublemakers in the church who "torment the pastor into becoming the
crabbed old goat they think him to be. Jezebel and Judas can take a good
man of God and carve him into a critical creature. Constant criticism and
continual gripes can make a man punch- drunk and cruel. Some churches
seem to have a special ability to break preachers down." Bledsoe
advised," If you find yourself a victim of these circumstances, roll up
your sleeves, get on your knees, and learn how to live with them and
outthink,outpray, outlive, and outwork them."
