Pastors

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.

As a pastor for 10 years, I’ve performed my share of weddings, and I still get a bit nervous. So if you’ve never done it before, it’s incredibly intimidating.

When you look at the scene of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he does not appear to be going to his death with the courage that we might have expected. In fact, he appears weak—almost scared.

If you grew up Christian in America, you grew up watching VeggieTales. This is the remix you need to see.

The truth is, your pastoral leadership is closely tied to your personal health. And your personal health is directly impacted by how well you plan, prioritize and stick to your schedule.
