Pastoral Leadership

Substituting service for prayer was a concern for the early church. The leaders were concerned about allowing the distribution of food to the widows to dominate their schedule.

I remember when people began to call me pastor for the very first time. It was a title that I had to adjust to; I wasn’t accustomed to being called anything other than my name. It didn’t, however, take me long to realize that there was a great difference between the mere title of pastor and the fulfillment of the position.

I am an advocate of setting goals before the beginning of a new year. Philippians 3:13 encourages us to be constantly, “Reaching forth unto those things which are before.”

King Hezekiah was a good man. He made a decision early on to follow the godly example of his forefather, David, and rejected the wicked practices of his father, Ahaz.
