pastoring

Protecting uninterrupted time for important non-urgent tasks is crucial for maintaining effectiveness and well-being in a busy schedule.

The essence of the gospel in ministry is subtle yet clear. It comes from a profound and authentic engagement with the gospel and life, influencing both preaching and the individual in a way others can perceive even before they articulate it.

True lasting ministry and influence come from holding strong, steady convictions and values, even when they are out of step with contemporary trends and popular opinions.

Pastors should fight covetousness by fostering contentment in their ministry and joyfully supporting other churches, acknowledging that God's gifts are sufficient and each ministry's success aids the kingdom's work.
