Pastor, You Can’t Show Your Church What You Haven’t Seen for Yourself
A pastor, above all, is to provide for people a glimpse of the radiant loveliness of Christ.
Opposition in Ministry
If you have no opposition in the place you serve, you’re serving in the wrong place.
Don’t Stop Leading
Spiritual leaders who quit loving quit leading.
Reggie McNeal, A Work of Heart (San Francisco: Jossei-Bass, 2011), 126.
The Fear in Leadership
Leadership is about fearing God more than others do. Leadership is about revering God’s name. Leadership is not about taking pleasure in who God is and what He is like. Leadership is about making the chief end of your life helping, instructing, and challenging others to revere and delight in God’s name as well.
Mark Dever, The Message of the Old Testament (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 2006), 437.
When a Leader Forgets His Own Sinfulness
A true leader is not so much aware of the talents or gifts he has that others do not have as he is of the fact that he is as weak and as capable of sin as anyone. It is when leaders forget their sinfulness that they fall into sin and lose their ability to lead.
John Newton’s Word to Pastors
Our work is great; our time is short; the consequences of our labors are infinite.

Those Who Did Great Things for God
All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.

George Barna, A Fish out of Water (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2002), p. 159.
