Pastoral ministry
Weathering Vacancies Well
Only a person who rests fully in Christ’s righteousness can serve his neighbor with delight, in the fullest sense of the word.

Good works are actions in accordance with God’s will, taken by the Christian not from fear of punishment or for worldly gain, but as an intrinsic part of the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification.
