90% of a Pastor's Job

I attended the start of the Toronto Spiritual Life Convention last night. It was worth attending just to hear this reminder at the end:

"About 90% of a pastor's job is reminding himself & others of the gospel. The other 10% is answering the phone & stuff." (Colin Smith)

Great quote!

At one point he sounded like he was going into imputation which I would have enjoyed hearing in the context of his message but he stopped short. I'm glad I went,always like listening to messages delivered in humilty.

Great quote! From what I've seen and heard almost 90% of pastors have a hard time knowing what the gospel is! I guess that's another story...
