defining the role of the pastor

"There are lots of people qualified to explain the scriptures to you. That's not my gifting."- Joel Osteen

I just watched a clip with this quote. I cannot believe the audacity of this statement. if you are a pastor, according to the scriptural definition of the pastor, your job is to teach/explain the scriptures!! I've blogged in the past about cotton candy preachers, fluffy ministry and Christian Crack. So i'm not doing that here- but i'm saying this. I'm frightened- literally frightened- for the people who depend on Osteen's ministry. I'm afraid for those people in their spiritual life- because they depend on a person to teach them the scriptures who says he's not gifted in explaining and teaching the scriptures.
