Christian Ministry

Another helpful quote, this one on Jeremiah 15, from D.A. Carson's For the Love of God, Vol. 2:
"The deep tension between faithfulness to God and alienation from one's own people is an unvarying constant in the ministry of faithful preachers assigned to a declining culture."

I assume that this quote summarizes the kind of ministry I will do as a preacher of the gospel.

Hello Son: The leader is out front. It is always good to look around and see who's following. If you are alienated from your followers, do an inward look then outward ("declining culture"). "It's me, isn't it?", is always a good question. Personality conflict, character deficiencies, spiritual immaturity, unrealistic expectations, lack of biblical leadership ability can all contribute to the "tension." Lord, mold me and make me into an instrument that gives a clear sound, 1 Cor 13:1-6. Oh, there will be tensions but not because you don't love them.
