#2 Daniel Haveman – Help For Youthful Ministers
Young men in the ministry are often challenged by ambition. Contentment is the antidote to ambition, 1 Tim 6:6. A young pastor should be: Content with his calling, 1 Tim 1:12-15.

You must be convinced that you need God’s wisdom from above, Jas 3:13-18. You must be convinced that God wants to give you wisdom, Jas 1:5. God is not as impressed with our begging as he is with our believing. In 1 Ki 3, concerning Solomon’s wisdom, we notice: Solomon had the right assessment of […]
