Every pastor struggles with demands for his time, and how to
determine priorities in ministry. Some choose to respond to the
most urgent needs, while others seek a more balanced and
intentional approach. But what determines these priorities? Where
should a busy pastor look for wisdom in making decisions? In the
Pastor's Ministry, pastor and author Brian Croft looks to the
Scriptures to determine the top ten priorities for a faithful
pastoral ministry. These biblically rooted responsibilities help
pastors determine how to spend their time and with greater
discernment respond to the demands of the church. Each of these
priorities is rooted in a direct command of God's Word, including:
Guarding the TruthPreaching and Teaching the WordPraying for the
FlockSetting an ExampleVisiting the SickComforting the
GrievingCaring for WidowsConfronting SinEncouraging the
Faint-HeartedIdentifying and Training Other Leaders To be
successful and faithful in pastoral ministry, every pastor needs to
understand these core callings and make them part of his regular
practice. These ten responsibilities guide how a pastor schedules
his time, helping him to lay the foundation for a biblically
faithful ministry in his church.
