Logos Christian Bookstore Newsletter  

Dear ,

 

Over the years I've become very sensitive to the needs and well being of those called into the ministry.  We often take them for granted, expect way too much of them, and forget that they need compassion and care from us, just as we do from them.

 

A pastor can play an important role in a person's life. A pastor provides many services to members of the congregation such as spiritual guidance, confidential counseling, bedside support when you are hospitalized, and premarital counseling before a wedding just to name a few.  It is only fair that members of the congregation honor a pastor for selfless devotion to the congregation.

1. Treat a pastor with respect. Pastors put in long hours to serve the congregation with minimal financial reward for their time. Respect pastors for being the professionals that they are, and treat them as respectfully as you would treat any other professional in any other profession.

 

2. Respect a pastor's privacy. Some churches provide a parsonage for the pastor and family to live in. Just because the church owns the parsonage does not give the congregation unlimited access to a pastor's home. Respect the fact that a pastor and their family need just as much privacy as any other family.

 

3. Remember that a pastor is human, too. Some people hold the pastor and family to a higher standard, treating the family as if they are living in a fishbowl. Do not gossip about a pastor or their family when they go through a rough time. Instead, provide them with the same compassion that you would expect to receive from a pastor if you were going through the same situation.

 

4. Say thank you. If a pastor's sermon spoke to you, then tell him so. Send him an email saying how much the sermon spoke to you. Write him a letter or drop by the church and let him know how much you appreciate all that he does for your congregation.

 

5. Celebrate Pastor Appreciation Month. October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Do something nice for your pastor during the month of October to say thank you for all the hard work. Write a personal thank you note or give a small token of your appreciation through a gift or gift certificate in honor of Pastor Appreciation Month.


7. Say goodbye. Some churches rotate their pastors, so be sure to say goodbye when a pastor rotates out of your church. Encourage your church to hold some kind of ceremony so the congregation can say goodbye and collect a love offering to send with a pastor as he or she transitions to a new church.

A pastor is an important part of a person's life. Be sure to honor a pastor just as you honor other people who make a positive difference in your life.
   

  
Blessings,

The Reason for My Hope
The Reason for My Hope

From America's evangelistic elder statesman.  

 

Salvation is what we all long for, when we are lost or in danger or have made a mess of our lives. And salvation belongs to us, when we reach out for the only One who can rescue us--Jesus.

 

The saving message of the Gospel is the heartbeat of this preacher and evangelist. Millions around the world have heard Billy Graham proclaim this unchanging truth. He has never forgotten the transformation of his own life, when he first said yes to God's gift of salvation, and he has witnessed multitudes turn their hearts to the God of Hope.

 

"The Reason for My Hope: Salvation "presents the essence of that trans formative message. It is biblical and timeless, and though simple and direct, it is far from easy. There are hard words, prophetic words, directed toward a culture that denies the reality of sin and distracts us from the veracity of Hell. But through its ominous warnings shines a light that cannot be extinguished--a beacon of hope that Jesus came "to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10).

Some Parting Fun....

Jesus made a quick return to earth for a visit.  

 

He came upon a lame man, had compassion on him, and healed his leg.  

 

Further down the road, Our Lord came upon a blind man, had compassion on him, and healed him.  

 

A little further down the road, Jesus came upon a man sitting on the curb sobbing his heart out. Jesus asked him what was wrong.  

 

The man cried out in agony, "I'm a pastor!"

 

Jesus sat down beside him, put his arm around him

 

.............. and cried too.
