The Pastor’s Closet Life
Never before has it been more important for the preacher to be the same man in public as he is in private. A triplex of words come to mind that should mark every pastor’s ministry: integrity, consistency, and transparency. While God calls pastors to live above board in all respects (1 Tim 3:1-7), they understand that it doesn’t happen automatically. There is no autopilot feature on the steering wheel of the Christian life and ministry.
