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.

If your pastor preaches expository sermons, walking his congregation through a particular passage of Scripture, he carries a heavy burden when he steps into the pulpit.
Preaching Brick by Brick
That’s the task of preaching. Not building an imposing and impressive wall each and every Sunday, but simply laying one brick at a time and laying it straight and square.
