I use the title of my office when I am writing in my capacity as a pastor. I am not speaking as a private individual but in my public office. It’s actually the opposite of self-aggrandizement. It’s calling attention to the fact that it is the Word of God I am proclaiming. You may think otherwise, but that is why I do it.

Sorry, but the reader will be the judge of that by comparing your words to the Word of God.

the reader will be the judge of that by comparing your words to the Word of God.
