If I were starting the ministry again - eBook
timeless instructions and life-changing wisdom



Church, leadership, pastoral ministry, pastor, ministry life, spiritual life


Sinopse

This book arose from the search and need of the author, John M. Drescher, to discern the real importance and what he would emphasize if he were starting the ministry again.

His reflection considers what he would have liked someone to have shared with him when he started. It is a pious return to the most basic principles of the Gospel. With simple questions like: What was the impetus that motivated your Christian calling? What is the goal that currently guides your ministerial formation? Drescher writes about cultivating one's spiritual life, reading the Scriptures, empowering by the Holy Spirit, prayer, forming leaders, visiting, planting churches, among other important topics.

The contents of this book, once practiced, transform the lives of those who take the ministry seriously. So, serving Christ as his partner becomes a great privilege.

7 I would look for and encourage creative centers

8 I would place a primary emphasis on prayer

9 I would seek to always remember that my calling is not to control people´s faith, but to love them into the kingdom of God

10 I would seek to always be aware that God is at work, usually in persons, places, and programs where I least expect God to be working

11 I would seek to always remember that I minister only out of overflow and that fruit is produced only on new growth

13 I would seek to be more disciplined in practicing the personal touch through visiting the flock

14 I would beware of particular pitfalls in the ministry
