    The Office Of The Prophet

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Feb 29, 2008
     | 5,506 views

    The Office of the Prophet Intro.: Every month hundreds of pastors resign their churches and leave the ministry. There are many reasons for this but I believe the most significant is “unreasonable expectations”. In most churches, the pastor is expected to function in every role- prophet, priest & ...read more
