The Pastor's Job Description

In the eyes of the world (and in my dad's eyes!) we pastors may not look like we're being very productive. But productivity in the Kingdom is not measured the way it is measured in the world. Nevertheless, that does not make him any less of a hard worker. The pastor-theologian labors arduously—in his study, and by his preaching, teaching, visiting, shepherding, and counseling—to show himself approved as a worker who handles rightly the word of truth. May Christ continue to raise up such men today and in the next generation for the work of the ministry to build up the body of Christ.
