Brothers, it is a tough ministry to which we are called. I've been doing it long enough, not that I'm a geezer or anything, to see some of my colleagues and the outcome of various approaches to ministry. I've noticed that most of those who wear themselves to a nub have families that are a tragedy. We must remember that our families are our first ministry. Nowhere is Scripture does it say that we are to put the congregation above them. They are our first congregation. God doesn't take our place if we are absent.
