Faithfulness

1. God requires faithfulness from all believers, Matthew 25:21.

2. Much more so does God require faithfulness from pastor-teachers, ministers.

3. God does not ask the minister to be sensational, spectacular, scintillating, but faithful.

4. The key to being a pastor is found in one word: plugging. The pastor-teacher must keep right on studying and teaching.

5. Pastors must be consistent and faithful to the assigned task of the ministry which is the communication of Bible doctrine to his congregation.

6. Every time a pastor stops for counseling he is depriving his entire congregation of Bible doctrine.

7. The self-centered, egotistical, haughty, insolent, supercilious member of the congregation who demands attention should get it — on his butt!

8. It is imperative that a pastor should avoid being sidetracked by the psychopathic, imbecilic, self-centred people who demand attention. When it comes to studying the Bible or teaching the Word of God the pastor must become a plodder.
