"Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God."
Do you ever . . .
● lose sight of the purpose of your ministry?
● feel overwhelmed by the needs that surround you?
● wish you had some real encouragement?
Every pastor experiences feelings of inadequacy or loneliness at some time in ministry. Serving others and serving God is not an easy task. Warren Wiersbe, the "pastor's pastor," knows the struggles and triumphs a life of service brings.
On Being a Servant of God invites you to listen in on thirty short "armchair chats." With candor and sensitivity, Wiersbe shares what he wishes he had known about ministering to others when he began his own Christian pilgrimage. Let his years of experience and wise counsel bring comfort to your soul and energy to your tasks.
Methods are many, principles are few.
Methods always change, principles never do.
- from chat #1 in book
Are churches today more focused on methods or the unchanging, life-changing message and principles of the gospel by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone from scripture alone for the glory of God alone?
The pre-internet WWW was Warren W Wiersbe. With over 100,000 copies sold this book re orients us toward being a servant of the one and only most high God!
About the Author:
American pastor (Moody Church in Chicago 1971-78 before Erwin Lutzer, Calvary Baptist Church in Covington KY 1961-71), Bible teacher, conference speaker, radio minister (Back to the Bible), and prolific author. He is best known for his extensive “Be” Bible commentary series and numerous other theological works.
In May 1945, just before his sixteenth birthday, Wiersbe volunteered as an usher at a Youth for Christ rally. Standing transfixed at the back of his high school auditorium, Wiersbe recalled his heart being captivated as he listened to the message of salvation preached by 26-year-old evangelist Billy Graham. That night, Wiersbe responded to God’s call, committing his life to Jesus Christ. Many years later, Billy Graham would call Weirsbe “one of the greatest Bible expositors of our generation” (www.moodybible.org/news/global/2019/warren-wiersbe/, accessed 4/6/23).
