Pastors and physicians share a number of traits: concerned about helping people improve and offer prescriptions for people’s problems. Both professions call for a high level of preparation and dedication. Pastors who are growing in the basic spiritual disciplines will truly lead and not just maintain the status quo.

1. I Love Christ!

Christ is real and wants us to experience real life through a personal growing relationship with Him and other people in His church.

2. I Love People!

Real ministry is always practical and people-oriented. There is a power within the life of every Christian waiting to be released – a power that can lead to further and deeper change, a power that can help someone else join more intimately to the heart of Christ and the power to heal soul wounds. That power is released by connecting with hearts and souls of other people and allowing God’s grace to flow freely through us to them.

Everyone likes new things. It’s especially exciting when new life brings purpose, direction, and joy into our lives. Temple of Restoration is a relatively new church but the church is not the source of newness and fulfillment. With Christ as the forgiver and leader of our lives, we can experience the kind of newness that lasts forever.

Look forward,
