Ministry Proverbs: Lessons Learned for Leading Congregations

Ministry Proverbs: Lessons Learned for Leading Congregations

Biblical and cultural proverbs have been cherished throughout the ages. One reason for their enduring influence is that they reveal deeper wisdom through easy-to-grasp phrases. They form our lives by offering wisdom we can hold onto and use in lifeâ€™s most complex situations. In the increasingly complex world of modern ministry, it has become harder for pastors and church leaders to act wisely when the models for ministry keep changing.

Ministry Proverbs is a collection of 60 proverbs that the Rev. Dr. Graham Standish has developed over the years to guide his own ministry. These are proverbs such as â€œWe are only responsible for our efforts. God is responsible for the results. So be responsible for your part, and let God be responsible for Godâ€™s part. Wisdom comes in learning to tell the difference.â€ Each proverb is followed by 4-6 paragraphs of reflection that take the reader deeper into the ramifications and applications of the proverb. The reflections are intended to help readers to apply the proverbs in their own ministries, and to remember them so that when they face a difficult or uncertain situation, they can tap into the wisdom.
