How Was I Supposed To Know That God Has Created A Perfect World/Universe?? From my own experience, I've found that searching and finding out that God has created a perfect world universe relieves me of the stress and pressure of being in a world universe of total confusion and turmoil while trying to make sense out of my daily struggles of living.

From my own experience, I've found that searching and finding out that God has created a perfect world/universe relieves me of the stress and pressure of being in a world/universe of total confusion and turmoil while trying to make sense out of my daily struggles of living. If you notice, I did not say that I am free from the struggles and pressures of daily living.

It should be expected that a casual observer of life in this present world/universe would feel much better mentally, physically, and spiritually, knowing without doubt there is a God, and He is in control. I would also expect that like myself, a person who finds out that God has created a perfect world/universe and is in control of it would begin to act otherwise from one not having this knowledge or belief. Based upon logic, he or she should begin to develop a paradigm of living to conform to this perfection or remain in a state of confusion, stress, and anxiety.

My prayer is that during the administration of President Barack Obama, the Christian Church will rise to grapple with him in his formidable struggle in making America a great nation by standing with its poor as we pass health care legislation in order to care for all Americans. We thank God for our dear brother, the late Senator Teddy Kennedy, who died in the battle.

The Heart of the Matter
Format: Paperback
The power, longevity and effectiveness of a church lies in large part on the leadership of its pastor(s). It shouldn't be about his or her administrative skills or ability to jump at every whim a member of the congregation brings forward. It should be about the spiritual life and leadership of the pastor. This isn't about perfection. It's about relationship with God. As a lay person who is active in the local church and works in a ministry to pastors, my heart delights in a pastor who puts God first and everything else in its proper place. You see, when the pastor's hunger for God is alive and well and being fed I can see it, and I have a role model to follow. When the pastor's life demonstrates the results of intimacy with Christ, I am motivated and encouraged. As a lay person, I was brought up short because for too long I have measured my pastors by the to do list he accomplishes and the teaching she does. I have not always allowed them the space to do the most important things - being the guardian and teacher of the word and sacrament, abiding in Christ through prayer, and being the spiritual director I need rather than the quick answer to a problem I bring forward. I stand corrected. My hope is that this book crosses the desk of every pastor in America, to renew his or her call to ministry, to give permission and encouragement in keeping the promises of ordination and installation. It will radically change the pastorate and the Church it ministers to. Well done, Pastor Peterson. Thank you for your honesty, your leadership, and your willingness to be real and tell it like it is.

A Vision of Pastoring That is Rare but Inspiring
Format: Kindle
No one has been more helpful to me from afar in church planting and pastoring than Eugene Peterson. His vision of pastoring is inspiring but increasingly rare in the church growth landscape of the Evangelical industrial complex. “The pastors of America have metamorphosed into a company of shopkeepers, and the shops they keep are churches. They are preoccupied with shopkeeper’s concerns—how to keep the customers happy, how to lure customers away from competitors down the street, how to package the goods so that the customers will lay out more money.” In this book, Peterson offers up an alternate view—a biblical view—of the work of the pastor: prayer, reading Scripture, and offering spiritual direction. This work is modest work—hard work—but it is the good work God has called us to.

Excellent
Format: Kindle
An excellent work on the essential shape of pastoral work. A very convicting and important read for those who work in ministry- prayer, scripture, and spiritual direction will never be demanded of us, but are non-negotiable in order to maintain our call.

A must read for any pastor or spiritual leader
Format: Paperback
This book is profoundly insightful and easy to read and understand. It is not heavily theological (and does not need to be). It is practical. I have purchased an additional copy to give my pastor for his birthday. If he has already read it, he can pass it on. EVERY pastor needs to read this and practice these tips, which many do not receive in seminary. THIS is the type of pastor I want and need (and my pastor does embody much of what Peterson describes). I think pastors should read this every year or two to reassess their progress toward keeping these goals always in mind and in practice as much as possible.
