Reflections of a Pastor

You have no doubt observed the tumbleweed blowing through this apparently uninhabited blog...

You have just got to listen to Sinclair Ferguson passing on his reflections on pastoral ministry at the age of sixty. (The link will take you to iTunes, so you had better have it installed. Otherwise I don't know what will happen. Maybe your computer will blow up or something.)

Of interest are:
  • his personal conversion
  • observations of Willie Still's ministry
  • John Murray's glass eye
  • a plausible impersonation of Martyn Lloyd-Jones
  • the value of catechising
  • the importance of reading old books that have stood the test of time
  • experiential vs. theological theology (!)
... and much more. Very engaging and powerful.
