PROFESSIONAL OR PASTOR
God deliver us from the professionalizers. Hasn’t God made pastors the last in the world? We are fools for Christ’s sake; professionals are wise. We are weak; professionals are held in honor… Professionalism has nothing to do with the essence and heart of the Christian ministry… for there is no professional childlikeness, no professional tenderheartedness, no professional panting for God… How do you carry a cross professionally? …What is professional faith?By John Piper as quoted by Ben Patterson in Mastering the Pastoral Role, pg. 31
