One of the hardest jobs in ministry is keeping your own relationship with God where it needs to be.

The true minister is in his pulpit not because he has chosen that profession as an easy means of livelihood, but because he could not help it, because he has obeyed an imperious summons that will not be denied.

From the beginning, this has been a faith-based ministry.

I know the world is hungry for good ministry.

I see everything I do as an extension of the ministry. It's all about service.

In order to the existence of such a ministry in the Church, there is requisite an authority received from God, and consequently power and knowledge imparted from God for the exercise of such ministry; and where a man possesses these, although the bishop has not laid hands upon him according to his traditions, God has Himself appointed him.

Our first remark on this subject is that the ministry is an office, and not merely a work.

Pastoral ministry is a sacrificial call with unique challenges. We are called to take the Gospel to those with hard hearts and blind eyes.

Endurance in ministry is rooted in the eternal perspective. The absence of an eternal perspective makes you vulnerable to losing heart.
