Sermon Central And A Pastors Integrity
Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: A short sermon/study for pastors explaining how we can maintain our integrity as ministers of the Gospel while using varous resources written by others.
I am a pastor in a small church in Oklahoma, and as much as I admire and enjoy the sermons of men like Alistair Begg, John Piper, Mark Dever, RC Sproul, and others most of those men are what we here in Oklahoma would call “Yankees.” There is no doubt that they (and others) are preaching the Word of God, but is it the Word that MY congregation needs to hear on a particular Sunday. Granted; some of those men have been in ministry for so long I could probably find a sermon that they have preached in the past that would address what my congregation is going through, but again it is a matter of Christian ethics.
As pastors we are under-shepherds of a local flock. We are to lead them in a specific direction, and that direction is going to be based on our own ethics and integrity, whether we want it to be or not.
