Shattered Pulpits: Should Your Pastor Be Fired? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578437262)

Are you a pastor and feel uneasy about the ministry you are doing or of which you are a part? Maybe you are a congregation member that has been to a church and felt like something just wasn't right? You just knew something was off when you heard or met the pastor! Perhaps, you could just be a critical person who finds something wrong with everything. But there are some faithful Christians who have discerned that a pastor was not sent by God, but they felt handcuffed-unable to do or say anything about it. Well, it is time to say something. When nothing is said, then we hear about disqualified pastors having sex scandals, embezzling money, manipulating people for their own agenda instead of God's agenda. While there are many great pastors today, not everyone behind a pulpit is called by God. Some have turned God's house into a business, a political agenda, a country club, and so forth. Some pastors are more interested in making you their "fans" instead of "disciples" of Jesus Christ. In short, not everyone behind a pulpit is called by God. God wants to bring integrity back to the pulpit again. Whether you are a church member, Christian leader, pastor, or are training to be a minister, this book will cause you to evaluate what a truly called minister looks like. While this book will unapologetically diagnose the problem, it ultimately points to God's grace. There is a great future for the Church and for the pastor that may have compromised in some areas. Ministry is tough, and pulpits can be shattered, but God can put the pieces back together, bringing it to its original splendor.
