Ancient Pastor to Modern Pastors..

JeromeChurch father Jerome, in Letter 52, gives some sound advice for all of us pastors, even ones with big churches and blogs!

He says "Never discuss a woman's figure..."

Good words :)

Also "Make it your object, therefore, to keep your tongue chaste as well as your eyes."

Even better!

Driscoll clarifies... Mark Driscoll thanks his critics... As I have re-read my blog, I can see how some may have misconstrued what I said. Because I was writing to male pastors, I spoke in such a way that was not as clear as it could have been regarding what is true of Christian marriage in general. Therefore, I hope that this post is more clarifying. My heart remains deeply burdened for the many young pastors who either do not enter ministry with a history of sexual purity and/or are struggling to maintain it in marriage and ministry. Pastors must continually strive for loving and satisfying intimacy on all levels with our spouse and to finish our race well many miles down the road of life. If you are a young pastor or Christian leader reading this blog who knows deep down that you are not in the best of places with your spouse and fidelity to them, I would simply urge you to seek wise counsel right away. Do not settle for anything less than what God intends for your marriage because too much is at stake to take any risks. Lastly, I want to thank my critics, especially the most vocal....
