The three essential qualities of a pastor

Being a pastor is sometimes like a man by the roadside with a warning sign. God gave us a job to guide people in their life journey with the words from Him. The Parable of the Sandwich Sign by Max Lucado is a simple one but with a very good reminder. There are 3 essential qualities that we must always bear in mind. Firstly, it is perseverance. There are times when we feel tired and dejected. But we must already hold on and continue. Secondly, it is humility. We must remember that the focus must lie in the message and not in the messenger. Lastly, it is conviction. We must defend the true orthodox message at all times. May the Lord bless the work of his servants.

Rev. Wong Siow Hwee

Typo: "always" instead of "already"
