Check out this article from Thinklings contributor and pastor Philip Shroeder. It is a humble, and compassionate, and yet compelling call for big-time preachers to carry out their God-given roles as pastors.
On the same topic, and even with the same message, I also highly recommend this address at a SBC conference at Union University by professor and pastor Dr. Ray Van Neste. I think that both of these men truly understand what it means to be a pastor of a local church, and this is a message that I think the next generation of ordained ministers need to hear. Oh, that God would raise up faithful men who would lead and care for God’s flock that He has entrusted them with. The Church will never be healthy until it’s leaders truly understand and carry out their job.
