I knew when I entered full-time pastoral ministry that I wouldn’t be able to please everybody. I thought my experience in the world of auto claims would prepare me for the times when I would let people down and upset them. Man, was I ever wrong about that.

The central command of the Great Commission is to make disciples. Disciples are made in and through the efforts of the local church.

Every day, entrepreneurial Christians are planting parachurch seeds producing ministries that populate the West.

It is my prayer that your church incorporates a practice of ministry sabbaticals. There are enough burned-out pastors. Let us not add more.

The terms of the parachurch’s future must be defined by the historic and orthodox church’s gospel, not simply by its own good ideas.

In Christ we have been made citizens of a Kingdom that will never crumble.

When we listen well at the beginning of a partnership, we focus on serving the church rather than using them to advance our own plans. 

Immeasurable hope and help await you as you learn to kill the diehard sins that plague you.

God has indeed made us, by gifting and by calling, for certain tasks.
