Pastors

The Hebrew word for love could really change your understanding of God's love for you and your love for him in return.

These shortcomings can render your preaching ineffective. Do you have any?

As a pastor, you need to learn how to refuel your life in mid-flight. You can’t just hop off to a tropical island every time you get tired and discouraged. You have to keep going. You have to learn how to recharge yourself in the middle of your hectic lifestyle.

The challenge is that culture is changing so rapidly, fewer and fewer people are hearing the message every year. At least that’s the case in many, if not most, churches.

In a lot of churches, deacons get a bad rap. I understand that. But I'd propose that a deacon can and should be among the pastor's best friends and confidants.

What Christians know about Jesus and the gospel he espoused is found in the Bible.  But can we be sure the Bible contains Christ’s true message? Are there errors in the Bible?

“And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness."

I thank God for pastors. They are often criticized, second-guessed, underpaid and expected to do too many things. Pastors would be perfect if they were simply omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.
