Описание:
For nearly twenty years, each day, one would hear or see in the news that a senior pastor has committed suicide, unexpectedly resigned, or was investigated for mismanagement of funds. As ministers of the gospel, we are expected to provide hope in a hopeless society. We are expected to express joy in times of sorrow. We are expected to be physically and emotionally stable, even in our hardships. So, what has gone wrong? What is happening to the shepherds of God's sheep?
Rise and Fall of Pastors in the 21st Century takes the reader on a journey from God's intent for pastors to individuals responding to the call to ministry; from ministerial training to ministry expectations; from the pastor's family to ministry highs and lows; and it ends with the warning signs and the need for pastoral soul care. This book encourages pastors to identify the threats, recognize the warning signs, and seek soul care. is book causes parishioners to proactively and earnestly pray for their pastors. e Apostle Paul encouraged the church in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercession, and giving thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and

Описание: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
- Matthew 28:19, 20 NASB
There is a distinct pattern that Jesus used in training His original twelve disciples. Jesus and the disciples employed the exact same pattern when they began to disciple the 70 and then again with the 120.
But this did not start with Jesus. God, the Father, instructed Israel through Moses to celebrate a series of seven distinct festivals at definite times throughout each year. This pattern emerges in looking at these festivals.
Peter listed these steps of discipleship. He also described the desperate consequences of not following these distinct steps. He contributed both the lack of fruit in the believer's life and his doubts of his salvation to a failure to follow these steps. Peter then challenged his readers to give diligence to make sure of their calling by following these steps.
Paul described each of the seven steps succinctly in his beautiful hymn of wonder at the magnificence of Christ in Philippians 2.
The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.
This book is designed to walk you through the pattern used in Scripture that can be replicated in your life and in your church.

In Romans 7:15, St. Paul expressed frustration with something all of us can relate to, saying, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Despite our best efforts to live our lives as we ought to, we repeatedly fall into the trap of "not understanding what we do," and constantly perpetrating the same missteps we have previously vowed never to take again. What is the reason of our deeply ingrained fallibility? Christians do what they hate either because they consciously, deliberately and sinfully transgress Jesus' commands, or because they are experiencing unintended and often unconscious symptoms of mental ailments. The interconnectedness of sinful and psychologically disordered behaviors is undeniable. Malignant selfishness, which we recognize as sin, is often linked to narcissistic character features. Repeated belligerent acting out may be rooted in a paranoid mindset. Emotional cruelty may be not freely chosen but tied to antisocial personality traits; sinning against the sixth commandment can be driven by the illness of pedophilia. The reverse is also true: most mentally disordered behaviors involve some form of intentional and sinful violation of Jesus' command. Though the boundary between sin and sickness may appear fuzzy at times, a thorough understanding of their interplay is of utmost importance when faced with matters of freedom of choice, conscience, responsibility and, most of all, pastoral care.
This comprehensive handbook on pastoral care successfully integrates the biblical and medical/scientific perspectives on human anthropology, mental illness and sin. It expounds on the signs of all major mental ailments and provides recommendations for their pastoral and medical treatment. Problems from psychoses to mood disorders, suicide to sexual disturbances, anxiety to addictive behaviors, and ailments in between are explained. Readers will find new insights on the ways in which various personality disorders interfere with spiritual functioning. Developmental stages in life are also discussed, together with the spiritual challenges they pose, and the pastoral answers they call for. This work does not shy away from controversial topics, such as post-abortion syndrome, euthanasia, gender ideology, or the psychological aspects of atheism. Soundly faith-based, yet well-grounded in contemporary psychiatric knowledge, this handbook captures a lifetime of learning and healing by practicing psychologist who holds an MD, PhD, and a graduate theology degree. It is an indispensable practical reference for all pastoral workers.
"Could you please teach your students to do what pastors actually do?"
Such was the question many ministry leaders asked Brian A. Ross after his transition from a lead pastor to a full-time seminary professor. The Practical (And Indispensable ) Pastor's Handbook: Exploring What You Actually Need to Do as A 21st-Century Minister is Ross' answer.
Being a pastor encompasses far more than theology and scripture, despite how important that knowledge is. A pastor is responsible for leading a church, including everything from welcoming new members and prayerfully constructing sermons that speak to the congregation's heart to managing the budget and staying ahead of potential legal pitfalls. Leadership, delegation, teamwork, and organization are all tools in the pastor's toolbox, along with planning just about everything well in advance. Divine duty or mundane practicality, the pastor is responsible for seeing it done.
The Practical (And Indispensable ) Pastor's Handbook presents Ross' guidelines and tips for new solo and senior pastors on a wide variety of topics, including a manual of "do/don't and why" generated from his studies, observations, and personal experience. While there is, as he says, no "right way" to minister, his handbook has brought benefit and fresh insight to both students and veterans alike.
