How to make a minister effective:

  • Build his spiritual power by praying for him.
  • Build his reputation by speaking well of him. He will have weak and strong points. His influence will depend on which of them you stress.
  • Build his wisdom by consulting with him. Most ministers will listen to advice. Many a young preacher might have been saved from making a serious mistake if men of sober judgment had expressed an opinion privately.
  • Build his leadership by cooperating with him.
  • Build his pulpit power by hearing him. Full pews challenge a man to prepare and deliver great sermons.
  • Build his morale by supporting him, and letting him know he can depend upon your support.
  • The greatest thing we can do for our preacher is to follow the Christ he preaches.

        A great minister will build his congregation and a great congregation will build their minister. A church is as responsible for what she does to her minister as is the minister for what he does to the church.

From Days Gone By....
  Sixteen years ago, July 3rd, 1986, the following was in the "Biblical Messenger".

"What do you think"

        "We are living in a time when a great deal of stress is put on our thinking. We are bombarded from every side with advertising gimmick that would capture our thinking, and cause us to buy a particular product - or idea. Our minds are constantly pressured in many directions; some good, wholesome & positive; others evil, unwholesome & extremely negative. Does it matter which we allow our thoughts to dwell on?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

        If you think you are beaten, you are.
        If you think you dare not,
        If you like to win, but think you can't
        It's almost certain you won't
        Life's battles don't always go
        To the stronger or faster person;
        But sooner or later the person who wins
        is the person who thinks he can.


        I believe it is extremely important that we allow only those positive thoughts to dwell in our minds. Why should we be beaten without giving life a real try? What do you think will determine your success as a Christian. I know that thinking is not enough, but "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he!"
        David, a man After God's own heart, knew the secret of success. He shunned the negative and wrote, "..his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night" (Psalm 1:1-2) Now that's positive thinking.........."
