Today, I am starting a new weekly feature.  My plan is to feature some good posts on pastoral ministry each Monday.  It will be similar to Passion Points, except the posts included in Ministry Moments will be primarily for pastors.  I was playing around with a second blog for pastors, but I really don’t have time to write two blogs, so I’m just going to include a pastoral ministry category in this one.  I suspect most of the readers of this blog are not pastors, and if that is you, you can just slide past this one each week.  For the pastors, here are some good posts to consider:

On Constantly Taking Your Church’s Temperature – Jared Wilson
That voice in your head that keeps rehearsing the disappointments and flaws of your church is not from the Lord.

Christian Leader, Are You Forgetting Something – Sam Crabtree
God is not given the praise he deserves when we ignore or deny the work he is doing in people.

The Subtle Art of Sabotaging a Pastor – Jared Wilson
How the devil might (and often does) tempt a pastor….

Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be
and taking the initiative to use God’s methods to get them there
in reliance on God’s power.
– John Piper
