Suffering and Rejoicing with the Body of Christ
After almost two decades of pastoring, I think it’s harder for most believers to rejoice when other parts of the body are honored than to suffer when other parts of the body are suffering.

Regular Pastors Must Be Missionaries
I’m no missionary, just a regular pastor. However, I did rub shoulders with a bunch of missionaries during my time at Southern Seminary.
