A preacher, though only human, is nevertheless a called man of God. His entire life is wrapped up in the ministry of God’s Word!
For the preacher it can be a daunting task—to be responsible for the spiritual health of your church, to be held accountable for the way you shone the Light of the Gospel on a dark world.
This position requires strength and wisdom beyond the capacity of the human mind! It demands an enduring vision, preparation, and punctuality. Under the pressures of this leadership, the preacher must maintain discipline and clear, biblical philosophy.
Dr. Barber reminds us what Paul so aptly told Timothy: “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.”
