    As a pastor I believe with all my heart our church deserves my best effort I can give to my calling. I also know God requires my best.

    A pastor once told me that he didn’t bother with preparing a message from the Lord for his church. He simply just opened up the Bible and preached wherever the pages were opened to. I thought, didn’t his church deserve better than that, and doesn’t God require more than that. Jethro in our text ...read more
