Читать книгу 20 Questions about Ministry - James Cunneen - Страница 5
Preface
ОглавлениеThe apostle Paul said it best. For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you . . . ? (1 Thessalonians 2:19)
There are few joys in life comparable to that of Christian ministry: sharing Christ with others, and helping younger Christians to grow. This book is offered to encourage those who are ministering—or want to minister—for the glory of God and the increase of His Kingdom.
These are 20 key questions—of the many questions that have arisen—to which I’d like to suggest answers. I hope the discussions about these issues will be helpful.
I’m not going to present these as if they are specific questions from individuals— i.e. “J. L. from Raleigh, NC asks, ‘ What about such and such?’”— but rather as generic, though real, questions about ministry that have occurred numerous times—e.g. “How do I lead a good small-group Bible study?”
While this book can be read sequentially, from Questions 1 to 20, it’s really intended more as a resource to address whatever ministry issue may have arisen. So please feel free to skim the Table of Contents and go to the question that seems most relevant.
I hope these topics will be both encouraging and challenging.
