Very Reverend

QUESTION

Pastor,

Is it a bundle of contradiction to say “very Rev” or by using that expression does one mean “rev rev”?

~ Naa Oboshi, Ghana

ANSWER

Dear Naa,

All glory, honor, and praise should go to Jesus Christ and not to His servants (Psalm 30:4; 48:1, 10; Revelation 5:12-13).

Titles should be identifiers and not status symbols.

~ Pastor Chris
