Website of the Week: 9Marks

We need a reformation in the church in terms of what is expected from ministers. The primary task of the minster is the preaching of the Word of God, the feeding of the flock. I tell young pastors that 90 percept of their time should be taken up with preaching and teaching. God has not called them to be psychological counselors or brilliant administrators. He has called them to preach the Word and feed the sheep. The pastor should be free to spend his time preaching and teaching, because what Christians need above all is to be nurtured in the Word of God. – R.C. Sproul, Romans, p. 416
