Pastors

More and more pastors are dealing with the issue of depression. The pain is often deep, and few pastors have immediate places to turn for guidance and comfort. If that’s your church, here are some thoughts.

Essentially boundaries in ministry for leaders or pastors are like a property line around your yard, only in this case that yard is your soul.

No one is ever too old or to set in their ways that the Holy Spirit can’t change their hearts. Let’s never give up on our family and friends who don’t know Jesus.

To build hope doesn't happen by turning on a switch. A totally rebuilt life doesn't just drop out of the sky.

Some time back our church staff held our annual in-house evaluation retreat when we reviewed the prior year’s goals and plans.

If we want to become men and women after God’s own heart, we must learn how to intimately and honestly pour out our hearts to God—to press pause on the madness unfolding around us and express to him our deepest feelings and fears.

Somebody once said there are two things in life we can’t avoid, taxes and death. I’d like to add a third, discouragement. 

One of the things that I have been struck with is the way in which Jesus interacts with various disciples having differing spiritual temperaments.
