An older pastor once told me, "If you love your people, they will forgive you for a lot of bad sermons". This was some of the worst advice I ever received. Not all will go through a crisis during your tenure; however, everyone will hear you preach - and expect to be fed.We read in the Bible, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and tha...  Read More

قال لي قس مسن ذات مرة: "إذا كنت تحب شعبك، فسوف يسامحونك على الكثير من العظات السيئة". كانت هذه من أسوأ النصائح التي تلقيتها على الإطلاق. لن يمر الجميع بأزمة خلال فترة خدمتك؛ ومع ذلك، سيسمعك الجميع وأنت تعظ - ويتوقعون أن يتغذوا روحيًا.نقرأ في الكتاب المقدس: "وَلكِنْ بِدُونِ إِيمَانٍ لاَ يُمْكِنُ إِرْضَاؤُهُ، لأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنَّ الَّذِي يَأْتِي إِلَى اللهِ يُؤْمِنُ بِأَنَّهُ مَوْجُودٌ، وَأَنَّهُ ي...  Read More

Um pastor mais velho me disse uma vez: "Se você ama o seu povo, eles lhe perdoarão por muitos sermões ruins". Esse foi um dos piores conselhos que já recebi. Nem todos passarão por uma crise durante o seu ministério; no entanto, todos ouvirão você pregar - e esperam ser alimentados.Lemos na Bíblia: "Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar-lhe; porque é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia ...  Read More

Un pastor mai în vârstă mi-a spus odată: „Dacă îți iubești oamenii, ei îți vor ierta multe predici proaste”. Acesta a fost unul dintre cele mai proaste sfaturi pe care le-am primit vreodată. Nu toți vor trece printr-o criză în timpul slujirii tale; cu toate acestea, toți te vor auzi predicând - și se așteaptă să fie hrăniți.Citim în Biblie: „Și fără credință este cu neputință să fim plăcuți Lui!
