Pastor Quotes

“A good teacher must be content to be a sower rather than a reaper," he said. "Teachers must not expect to see immediate, specific, concrete results of their efforts. If they have any effect upon their students, it will show up later in life, long after their students have left them." The same can be said of the pastoral ministry.”
― William H. Willimon, Pastor: The Theology and Practice of Ordained Ministry: The Theology and Practice of Ordained Ministry / William H. Willimon.

“if pastors know whose they are, where they come from, and why they are here, they will better know what to do, here, now.”
