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.”
