Charles Finney addresses the potential dangers that evangelists pose to pastoral relationships, emphasizing that the effectiveness of evangelists can inadvertently lead congregations to undervalue their pastors. He argues that the lack of spiritual vitality in some pastors may prompt the need for evangelists, which can create a rift in the church's perception of pastoral authority. Finney stresses the importance of recognizing faults on both sides—pastors and evangelists—and the necessity of maintaining a strong pastoral relationship for the health of the church. He calls for vigilance, prayer, and a commitment to spiritual integrity among both pastors and evangelists to avoid these pitfalls.
