What I have found of God in Jesus Christ is so wonderful, I am eager for others to know it too — and to know him.

Pastor, Bathe Your Ministry of the Word in Prayer
Before praying, give thanks, and before teaching, pray.

Pastor, the Grass on the Other Side of the Fence Isn’t Greener
Pastor, if the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, it’s probably because it’s either astroturf or over the septic tank.

Pastor, Remember by Faith Who Your Fellow Church Members Are
Every time we look upon our congregations, let us believingly remember that they are the purchase of Christ’s blood, and therefore should be regarded by us with the deepest interest and the most tender affection.

Preach the Word
We must preach more upon the great texts of the Scriptures, the tremendous passages whose vastness almost terrify us as we approach them.
The Highest Form of Worship
Pastor, you may think today that your ministry of the Word yesterday didn’t amount to much, but what you did was an act of worship. By faith, rest in that truth today.
The highest form of worship is the preaching of God’s Word.

Pastor, Get Ready to Preach Next Sunday!
No sermon is ready for preaching, not ready for writing out, until we can express its theme in a short, pregnant sentence clear as a crystal.
What Did They Come to Hear from You Yesterday, Pastor?
If any here do expect fine preaching from me this day, they will, in all probability, go away disappointed. For I came not here to shoot over people’s heads; but, if the Lord shall be pleased to bless me, to reach their hearts.

What Motivates Your Ministry?
Pastor, my prayer for you today is that you will have grace for the successes or failures of yesterday so that you may continue this week by grace, doing the impossible ministry God called you to do.
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
