Pastors Are Highly Susceptible To The Sin

God Made My Life Complete When I Placed All The Pieces Before Him. When I Got My Act Together, He Gave Me A Fresh Start. Now I'm Alert To God's Ways; I Don't Take God For Granted. Every Day I Review The Ways He Works; I Try Not To Miss A Trick. I Feel Put Back Together, And I'm Watching My Step. God Rewrote The Text Of My Life When I Opened The Book Of My Heart To His Eyes.

If People Don't Know Their Pastor, It's Easy To Put The Pastor On A Pedestal And Depersonalize Him Or Her. It's Also Easy For Pastors, Who Don't Know Their Congregations, Simply To Classify Congregants As Saved Or Unsaved, Involved Or Not Involved, Tithers Or Non-tithers.

Neither The Adventure Of Goodness Nor The Pursuit Of Righteousness Gets Headlines.

Wisdom Is The Art Of Living Skillfully In Whatever Actual Conditions We Find Ourselves.

Praying Puts Us At Risk Of Getting Involved In God's Conditions. Be Slow To Pray. Praying Most Often Doesn't Get Us What We Want But What God Wants, Something Quite At Variance With What We Conceive To Be In Our Best Interests.
