Download or read book The New Pastor s User Manual written by Juan M. Prez and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We pastors have a job different from everyone else on earth. Our job is two-fold, we are to do what God wants, and to do it exactly the way He wants, and we are to work with imperfect people who don't want to do what God wants (at least, much of the time). This dichotomy tends to pull at the man or woman called to pastor. We often demand from our congregational members to live as they ought, while we also struggle with the same life choices. Many times, and probably most of the time, we are doing our best, hoping we are getting it together, and realizing that we get it wrong too often. Yet, we don't quit or give up, we march on. Pastoring a church or ministry is sometimes (if not too often) a thankless job. Often the very members we invest so much of our life into, turn around and become those who hurt us the most. Sometimes people mistreat our families, because they cannot control our decisions. And, too often, they punish us by withholding tithes and offering. On the other hand, pastoring people is a reward in itself. We affect the life decisions of many and help even more come to know a real, fruitful, and fulfilling relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. This manual covers many situations and circumstances which will affect the pastor and his or her operations of the church organization, with a special emphasis on the relationship between the pastor and our Lord.

Download or read book The Pastor s Handbook KJV written by Moody Publishers and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pastor's Handbook (KJV) is intended to meet the continuing need of the Christian minister for guidance and forms as he does the work of the ministry. It seeks to offer options to suit the tastes of the pastor and congregation within the parameters of quality, beauty and dignity. To this end, numerous changes, both large and small, have been made—more selected Scriptures, new alternatives for special occasions, some significant additions and changes. At the same time, every effort has been made to keep the book concise and compact to maximize its usefulness. The formulas should be sufficient for the ordinary needs of the minister. They may be modified or supplemented by materials from the pastor's private collection or his own preparation. Some who stress liberty in prayer and preaching dislike set forms, preferring spontaneity and a free style as they worship. If the spiritual vitality of a church is maintained there need be no fear that these forms will become lifeless rituals. The use of forms should never become merely formal. And if the use of forms adds beauty and dignity to the atmosphere of sacredness, who can object? May the blessing of God attend all who glean from this manual, enabling it them to know what to say and how to say it. This is made also for allowing them to know what to do and how to do it especially as the occasion requires. Gratitude is expressed to many pastors and contributors for this volume. Includes the: worship service, baptism, communion, funerals, anointing services, healing services, membership, installation, baby and child dedication, consecration services, ceremonies for buildings and visitation.
