Pastors should pay attention to 1 Peter 5:1-5.

It is possible to have victory over self and sin in your walk with Christ. We must learn to walk by the Spirit of God. By doing so, we will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

In the last days, people will accumulate for themselves teachers who satisfy the itching in their ears. But regardless of what others say or do, we must remain faithful to the Lord and remember what we have learned and to whom we are accountable.
Jesus suffered and we should expect to suffer as well if we live for Him. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the Son of David. These summarize what is important in the message of the Gospel. Share it with others.

He says, “Not that I have already received or become complete, but I press on decisively.
