What is killing pastors...


We pastors are being killed by the professionalizing of the pastoral ministry. The mentality of the professional is not the mentality of the prophet. It is not the mentality of the slave of Christ. Professionalism has nothing to do with the essence and heart of the Christian ministry. The more professional we long to be the more spiritual death we will leave in our wake.
John Piper from Brothers We Are Not Professionals (p. 1)
