Pegram WO MINUTES h/m m BIBLE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60635 THE KEY TO AN EFFECTIVE PASTORATE The humblest pastor, one . who has had little oppor tunity for formal training and may have fe\y natural endowments, may be heart ened by the fact that ulti mately the key to true effec tiveness in the pastorate is spirituality. And the great est pasLor, well educated and liberally endowed with natural talents, had better remember this, for a large and "successful” ministry is not necessarily blessed and honored of God, while a seemingly insignificant one may be richly blessed. Remember, the Apostle Paul referred to himself as "unknown, and yet well known,” as "poor, yet mak ing many rich” (II Cor. 6:9,10). He could boast no great organizational back ing, yet even his co-workers were called "these who have turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6). The truly spiritual pas tor may know little about worldly matters, but he will give much time to the study of the Word of God and will be earnest and instant in prayer. He will not be self, satisfied, or high-minded, but will walk humbly, begl ging God every day to make him the pastor he ought to be. The truly spiritual pas. tor will be "crucified unto the world” and will [from] youthful lusts.” He will truly love lost souls and the congregation God has entrusted to him, and will toil unremittingly for their good. He will conduct him self as a servant of God and will trust God to use him for His glory. How can such a pastor be a total failure? The key to a truly effec tive pastorate, then, is not intellectual endowment, or scholastic attainment, or a well-rounded education, or a thorough training, much less wealth or fame or per sonal magnetism; it is spir ituality, with its desire to please God and to know and obey His Word, "rightly divided.” Tips On Getting Eariy Benefits From Your Life Insurance Poiicy Accelerated Benefits (NAPS)—Many life insurance companies now offer life insurance policies that let a policyholder col lect all or part of the death benefit while still living.
