One Piece of Advice | Jim Gallagher
Pastor Jim Gallagher, Vero Beach, Florida, shares his advice on seeking Jesus. “Long before you were called to be a pastor, you were called to be a Christian.” While there are many struggles that are unique to pastoral ministry, regardless of which area of ministry you are in leadership over, your relationship with Jesus needs to be the primary thing. Measure yourself based on your being a child of God, not on the abundance or lack of fruit being produced in your ministry at any particular time. Make sure you keep your devotional life healthy. Don’t search the scriptures for a sermon illustration, search for how God might want to speak to you. Besides that, keep your relationship with your local community fresh, so that you’re always meeting people and having an opportunity to share the Lord. “Keep following Jesus, keep loving Him until He comes.”
