Proud of My Husband
Being the wife of a minister is not an easy task. We are often expected to be perfect. I was doomed to fail from the beginning as anyone would be. Yet, I think that being the minister is even a more difficult task. God gives the strength but the work and the journey are difficult ones. That must be true because of its great importance. Many pastors today are beaten down and not respected. We have dealt with this in our ministry as have almost every minister we have ever talked to and known. I just want to encourage you to be a blessing to your pastor, they are there because of a great calling from the Lord and God has placed them in a position of authority. I am so proud of my husband for all of the work he has done and how even through the painful times he continues to minister. He has not compromised the Word when others had asked for the “tickling of the ears” but continues to preach the truth found in the scriptures.
I ran across a quote today which was posted on Blog & Mablog and I wanted to share it today and to tell my husband how proud I am of him!
“The work of preaching is the highest and the greatest and the most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be called. If you want something in addition to that I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian Church today is true preaching” (Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preaching and Preachers, p. 9).
