I am thankful that in my few years of pastorate God has placed godly men in my life. Men like Mickey Schnider, Randy Booth, and many others have really shaped my thinking. Paul Tripp’s latest post is a post I intend to read often in the years ahead because it challenges the basic assumptions that young pastors-like myself-may have about pastoral work. Tripp writes:
The reality is that the God who the pastor serves has no allegiance whatsoever to the pastor’s little kingdom of self.
