The Ministry We Need
Paul's Ancient Farewell—The Pastor's Present Calling (Acts 20:17–38)
About this book
What would cause the apostle Paul to testify that "I am innocent of the blood of all"? Godly qualities characterized his ministry, and outside of Christ's, there is no greater ministry example. All ministers struggle, and we all know those who toil in frustration alongside us in the Lord's field. You may be amid deep struggle now; worn, tattered, scarred, ready to quit--you have lost the focus and the joy of your calling. Most of us in ministry have known those who have either left the ministry or shipwrecked their faith. Quite possibly this is you. What we need to do is "put our hands to the plow, focus on our calling and the path before us, and determine to finish well." Drawing on Paul's example from Acts 20: 17-38, the authors prescribe ministry principles, touching on a wide range of pastoral and preaching insights. Some have a ministry they should not want; some desire a ministry they think they want, but this book seeks to identify the ministry we need.
