Here is a good reminder from Tullian Tchividjian of what should be the aim of my life as a Christian/pastor/shepherd/leader. I hope this is true of my life now and will always be true.
I hope it reminds you of your own repentance and faith.
In the June issue of Tabletalk my friend Scotty Smith wrote an article to young Christian leaders exhorting them to be gospel-centered in their various roles (for whatever reason I just saw it and read it today). Reflecting on mistakes he’s made and lessons he’s learned over a 30 year span of fruitful ministry, he outlines his exhortation under three headings:
1.Gospel astonishment versus theological cockiness
2.Chief repenter versus former sinner
3.Preaching Christ to yourself versus preaching yourself
Scotty’s timely cry for “an emerging generation of leaders who will live and lead as genuinely as [the apostle]Paul” is painfully helpful, not only for young Christian leaders but for all Christian’s everywhere.
You can read the whole thing here. Please do!
