A survey for the ministers out there.

Was just wondering, A good survey might be

1) what is the most important work of the preacher,

a) preaching and preparing to preach,
b) praying,
c) caring for his sheep.
d) administration and meetings.

2) of the 4 items in question 1 what does the average preacher spend the most time on.


For those of us in the ministry, our answer to question 2 is far more important that what we answer in question 1.

Anyway was just wondering, for what it's worth.

Praying for a Miracle

As most of you know I'm not a person who is hung up on miracles. I believe God is great and able. He has performed miracles in the past, and continues to perform miracles today when and where he chooses. I am not a charismatic who forms a healing line, or a preacher who promises a miracle for your financial gift. But today I am praying for a miracle. A good friend has been in critical condition with pneumonia for over a week. The doctors have told his family that it will take a miracle for him to recover. The Holy Spirit has laid a burden on my heart to make such a bold request from the King of kings and Lord of lords. For the sake of the families privacy I am not publishing his name. God knows! If you feel so lead please join me in bold prayer by going before Jesus throne and asking for God to work as only He can! Jesus said "whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that I will do."

What do we do when the unthinkable happens? What do we do when everything falls apart? In CAP we train constantly for the time when a plane crashes, or someone is lost, or the horrible storm strikes and we are needed. But there are the storms in everyone's life. What do we do when our lives have fallen apart? The only way to know is to plan and prepare. How do we do that? Start with our relationship with our creator. the one who knows everything and controls everything. If we constantly train in how he wants us to live our lives and respond to the storms that are bound to occur, then we will be ready. We will respond, we will survive, and we also will help others through the storm. Start with Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
