There is more negative said about pastors in the Bible than positive. That should push more men behind pulpits to become more engaged in ACTIVE pastoring rather than PASSIVE pastoring, which isn't pastoring at all. Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall...

An excerpt from my daily journal. Food for thought? "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."...
