WHAT THE FLOCK NEEDS FROM THEIR PASTOR

The breadth of my ministry is determined by the depth of my relationship with Jesus, "the most important thing that your people need from you is your personal holiness" --Dr. Bill Bennett, SEBTS Pastoral Ministry class

"Take heed to yourselves, lest you live in those sins which you preach against in others, and lest you be guilty of that which you daily condemn...If sin be evil, why do you live in it? If it not be, then why do you dissuade men from it? If it be dangerous, how dare you venture into it?...If God’s threatenings are true, why do you not fear them?...Do you not know the judgment of God that they who do such things are worthy of death; and yet will you do them?" --Richard Baxter in The Reformed Pastor

(From a sermon by Jason Jones, "So You Call Yourself a Pastor 2")
