Pastors

I like to be liked. You do, too. It’s natural. Human. And that’s a problem for leaders. 

In John 10 we are shown how Jesus was a shepherd-leader who selflessly laid down his life to protect and nurture the sheep. We as pastors are called to do the same.

There are some attractive traits for in successful senior leaders. If a leader has these, he or she will be more likely to have loyal followers.

I often get the question, how were people saved in the Old Testament? To answer this question, I usually follow the Apostle Paul’s logic in Romans 4.

Working on a church team for few years is great, but when you invest your lifetime career effort and energy, it’s a different ball game. It is clearly awesome, but it requires a different level of intentionality.

Many pastors begin an assignment at a new church and get blindsided from issues they never expected. When that happens, it can be deadly.

In a recent interview, Richard Dawkins offered two startling admissions: first, that he mourned the loss of much of what reflects the Christian faith in the world, and second, that he would consider himself a “cultural” Christian.

You should be sure you are correct in your rebuke.
