Brothers, we are not professionals
We, pastors, are being killed by the professionalization of pastoral ministry. The thinking of a professional is not the thinking of a prophet. This is not the mindset of Christ's servant. Professionalism has nothing to do with the essence of Christian ministry. The more we strive to become professionals, the more spiritual death we leave behind. After all, it is actually impossible to professionally be like children (Mt. 18:3), professionally be compassionate (Eph. 4:32), professionally thirst for God (Ps. 41:2).
Brothers, we are not professionals! We are outcasts. We are strangers and sojourners on earth (1 Pet. 2:11). Our residence is in heaven, from where we await the Lord (Phil. 3:20). Impossible professionally. will love His appearance, he did not kill this love at the same time, but they continue to kill it.
The world dictates its agenda to professionals; the plans of a spiritual person are confirmed by God. The strong wine of Jesus Christ breaks the skins of professionalism - John Piper
John Piper is a writer and preacher; the author of more than 50 books, many of which have become Christian bestsellers. He has served as a pastor and Bible teacher for more than 30 years. The founder of the Desiring God mission, the creator and apologist of the doctrine of "Christian hedonism", which claims that God is glorified in us most when we find the greatest satisfaction and joy in Him.

The first volume of 2000 Years of the Power of Christ covers the period from the first century AD to the early Middle Ages. From the writings of St. Augustine of Hippo to the first apologetics in history, this historical period laid the foundations for what we now study as Church history.

Annunciation
DescriptionContentAuthorDetailsEvery few years, churches get involved in a new kind of evangelistic activities. Leaders develop a program, and church members jump into battle. And imagine a church where the gospel has entered the general culture. Pastors talk about their faith openly and constantly. Church members follow their example, encouraging each other to consider the gospel as an inseparable part of life.
This is the gospel that this short and exciting book is talking about. No programs and ideas for evangelization - rather a new look at how the church will learn to live and evangelize together.
"This book about the gospel glorifies Christ, it is imbued with the evangelical spirit - a book unlike any other. It does not offer methods of personal preaching, but encourages us to proclaim the unheard, unprecedented news about Jesus to everyone, the whole church, and everyone to reap the fruits of the gospel." — Richard Chin, director of the Australian Evangelical Student Society, secretary of the International Evangelical Student Society for the South Pacific region.
