The professionalization of the pastoral ministry

This post is from the defunct blog “Dying Church”

Pastors are being killed by the professionalizing of the pastoral ministry. The mentality of the professional is not the mentality of the prophet. It is not the mentality of the slave of Christ. Professionalism has nothing to do with the essence and heart of the Christian ministry. (John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals)
