Beyond the starting point of a preacher’s calling and personal commitment to Christ, there are also practical elements that every pastor should master.
“I’m not nearly as important as I thought I was. Especially when you start leading at a young age, it’s easy to think you’re something. Life and ministry, though, have a way of teaching you otherwise.”
“Being a Christian — especially a Baptist — means standing with brothers and sisters around the world and demanding freedom of religion, religious expression and religious practice — without fear of reprisal or persecution or martyrdom.”
Here are three things that ought not be waited on. Instead, these areas of life need our willingness to say, “No more putting this off. I’m not a procrastinator!”
To press on, we must maintain faith in God’s promises and strive for the best, believing God’s ways produce positive results. The only problem is, sometimes they don’t – in the short run.
