Despite Doubt - A new book by Mike Witter dealing with doubts in the Christian life.
6 Lessons I Learned as a Rookie Pastor - My first year of pastoral ministry was like being dropped into a
battlefield that I’d only read about. Yet, there I was, in the midst of
the destruction of sin and the brutality of a world following the enemy,
trying to discern what it actually looked like to be in the trenches,
pastoring the people of God. It was terrifying. After a year in the
battle, here are six lessons that I learned as a rookie pastor.
Me-ness or Meekness - Meekness is the opposite of me-ness. It is putting others first, second and third, and yourself last. And it is putting God above everyone. “But if I do that, everyone else will get everything and I’ll be left with nothing.” Well, yes, it might mean we lose out a bit in this sinful, temporary world. But Jesus’ promise means that we will inherit the perfect, eternal world. That’s where faith comes in.
