Effective Pastoring Giving Vision, Direction, And Care To Your Church

A great deal of confusion exists today as to what pastors are to be, Lawrence writes. Are they chaplains, CEO's, preachers, managers, or counselors? Paul gave us the answer long ago: They are to be equippers, disciple-makers. Just as the great artist Michelangelo took a chipped and flawed piece of marble and transformed it into a masterful sculpture of David, so does a pastor with his flock. This is pastoring , writes Lawrence, serving as sculptors of souls.
