THE INADEQUATE PASTOR
A pastor could spend 12 hours a
day, seven days a week calling or.
the lost and the unchurched. Or.
he could spend those hours calling
in the homes of the members, sick
and inactive.
Or, he might spend all those wak
ing hours doing organization work
with the Sunday School, youth
groups, meeting with the dozens
of other organizations that com
prise a church, or, he might spend
his time ministering to the trou
bled, distressed humanity, some
how managing to handle funerals,
weddings and countless other so
cial obligations that come.
Or, he may spend 12 hours a day
in his study with great profit to
himself and his church. Other ac
tivities and meetings he must work
in somewhere.
So, a pastor—any pastor—must
forever remain inadequate. He han
attempt to cover five fields of en
deavor in part, devoting about 20
ing each eighty per cent undone!
ing each eighty per cent sndone!
Hence, the term “inadequate” pas
tor.
Inadequate, desperately busy, al
ways behind in his work, the
preacher thinks his job is the best
on earth. Pray for him and bear
with him: he is the only member
of the church who has no pastor.
Signed,
Mrs. Gerald Hancock
