Based on the writings of one of the most effective spiritual leaders of all time?the apostle Paul?MacArthur presents the "26 Characteristics of a True Leader."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dad, Michel Exalus Mesadieu, was a humble and spiritual pastor. As a pastoras son, I was raised in the midst of the problems of the church. Sometimes, I looked at my dad with pity when I witnessed what he endured. I witnessed the unconditional love that he had for even the devilas agents. I went to medical school because I did not want to experience the same hardship as my father. I was always a good Christian, but being a pastor was never part of my plan. My plan was not Godas plan. At the end of my medical internship, I had a terrible vision in which it was shown that God wanted me in the ministry. My dad died one year after the vision. Fortunately, I started to preach before his death. After attending the doctor of theology program at Jacksonville Theological Seminary, I wanted my thesis to contribute to the healthy functioning of the pastor and the church. I wanted the lay person to understand the church, the pastor and his family. This book was my thesis. Providing a comprehensive perspective on the church, A Dynamic Pastor will be a valuable asset for pastors, priests, deacons, teachers, and pastoral psychologists, as well as theological students and those interested in the churchas involvement in politics and sociology.

Download or read book The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life written by Jeremy Pierre and published by New Growth Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our approach to counseling and personal ministry is often lopsided—we treat people as minds to be taught or problems to be fixed, moving too quickly toward applying biblical solutions without taking the time to love people well and understand their experiences and hurts. The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life provides a comprehensive view of how the heart works and how Christ redeems it. Pierre’s faith-centered understanding of people combines with a Word-centered methodology to give readers a practical way to help others better understand their tough experiences and who they are in light of who Jesus is. Pierre guides readers through four key activities—reading, reflecting, relating, and renewing—that will consistently position them to understand everyday human experiences in light of Scripture. Pierre exposes the false dichotomy between the spiritual and seemingly unspiritual parts of the human experience, showing how every thought, feeling, and choice actually expresses the spiritual activity of the heart. He shows how faith in Christ is the means by which the heart begins to respond differently. Faith is not only the entry point for heart change, but also an expression of our everyday, ongoing need for Christ. Pierre’s holistic view of counseling—forged by his experiences as a counselor, pastor, and seminary professor—equips readers to understand how everyday beliefs, desires, and commitments shape how we respond to life’s biggest struggles and how an active relationship of trust in God is the foundation for lifelong change.

Download or read book Expository Exultation written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ. Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered preaching—in other words, expository exultation.
