“When our tongues let us down, it is because we have not first watched over our hearts and thoughts.”
Derek J. Prime, On Being a Pastor: Understanding Our Calling and Work

“Charles Simeon said when misrepresented, “My enemy, whatever evil he says of me, does not reduce me so low as he would if he knew all concerning me that God does.”
Derek J. Prime, On Being a Pastor: Understanding Our Calling and Work

“By professionalism we have in mind the snare of reading the Scriptures principally with a view to their application to others, rather than first and foremost to applying them to our own lives; or praying for others publicly in a way we do not pray for ourselves in private; or doing things that are expected of a shepherd and teacher simply because they are expected, rather than out of joy because we know they please God. A danger inherent in being paid for a task is that we may end up doing it only as a job. We are not suggesting that those called to give their whole time to shepherding and teaching should not”
