Too many of us are lonely ministers practicing a lonely ministry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We ministers have undoubtedly failed to connect and apply Christianity to the practical everyday problems of the average man. In this, we have failed to follow in Christ's footsteps. For the religion which He taught and revealed in His own life and ministry was an intensely practical and down-to-earth affair.
I know the world is hungry for good ministry.
It's amazing how many introverts go into the ministry. It's amazing how many people go into the ministry who don't really like to be with people.
Ministers should impress upon the people the necessity of individual effort. No church can flourish unless its members are workers. The people must lift where the ministers lift.
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
One of the hardest jobs in ministry is keeping your own relationship with God where it needs to be.
Ministers are powerless people who have nothing to boast of except their weaknesses. But when the Lord whom they serve fills them with His blessing they will move mountains and change the hearts of people wherever they go.
One must beware of ministers who can do nothing without money, and those who want to do everything with money.
Pastoral ministry is a sacrificial call with unique challenges. We are called to take the Gospel to those with hard hearts and blind eyes.
Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.
