Pastor, you are not responsible for seeing movements of disciples being made, or multitudes of missionaries being sent to the nations. globalhike.substack.com/p/th…
Pastor, you are not responsible for every people group in the world, for the salvation of those in your community, for meeting the needs of your community. . .

Seems primary role of political office. Protect the good from the evil-
. . . every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 1 Peter 2:13-14

We can have confidence that God’s way and design is never of confusion or chaos. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, one who restores rightness, assurance and stability.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
We have learned to measure the church by what it can accomplish corporately, while the New Testament repeatedly calls us to pay attention to what Christ is producing in His people.
Pastors, elders, we must faithfully address the temporal matters entrusted to us, but we cannot allow what is temporary to eclipse what is eternal. We are shepherds of souls, called to keep eternity in view
So good “I plead and pray that I would not be the kind of man who clings to a calling he has already forfeited, or who holds to something because I need it or cannot bear to let it go.” challies.com/articles/why-fa… @challies

Have you ever wondered why pastors who have been disqualified from ministry so rarely concede to the reality of their disqualification and just move on? Have you ever wondered why they so often disappear for a year or so and then turn up at another church or in a different denomination? challies.com/articles/why-fa…

Never domesticate your leadership for the sake of comfort or nostalgia. God’s call is to be a bold troublemaker for the gospel by proclaiming life to the spiritually dead. Lead as a holy disruptor to this world.
Maybe it’s about getting older, about experiencing personal loss, grief and pain. I’m not so easily influenced. Here’s my take
"Striving to gain significance is a reflection of insecurity, and will rarely result in fruitful influence. Soft, sweet surrender to whatever God has for us, and rest in who He is and His love for us is always the best solution." @Neil_Cole
