A pastor’s conduct must be such that should there be someone with designs on him in the congregation, that person will know the pastor to be upright and moral. Ethics for the minister in this instance is a reflection of the psychological and mental aspects of proper conduct, whereas the minister’s moral standards become the physical expression of what lies within the heart. Jesus stressed the importance of wholesome ethical behavior when He said that for a man to lust after a woman in his heart was tantamount to committing the act (Matt. 5: 28).
