The Church's Messengers

May 1, 2022    Pastor Greg Wagoner

Richard Baxter wisely warns, "Take heed to yourselves, lest your example contradict your doctrine...lest you unsay with your lives what you say with your tongues; and be the greatest hinderers of the success of your own labors". The faithful pastor must have no part in such a contradiction. For the glory of God and the good of His people, his life will match his belief; what he believes will connect with how he lives. Then he will be a leader worth trusting. Then he will be a leader worth following.
