Sinopsis

Pastor, it's time to turn down the noise and focus on what matters.

<br/>Today's pastoral world is packed with books, conferences, and seminars teaching you different techniques for being an all-star pastor, growing your church quickly, and changing the world one step at a time. But the key to true success is much harder and much simpler. Pastors are called to be faithful, to have exemplary character, and to love Jesus--without these things their ministry ends up harming others rather than helping them.

<br/>Character Matters was designed to help you slow down, cut through the noise and distractions, and focus on what matters--the fruit of the Spirit. Each chapter is a guided meditation on one aspect of the fruit of the Spirit. As you reflect and spend time focusing on the simple things that matter, you'll see your heart and ministry changed, slowly, surely, and by the power of the Spirit. <br/>

De la contraportada

God promises to grow spiritual fruit in all who belong to Christ.

Looking back at my early years as a pastor, a number of factors chipped away at my godliness: the rigors of ministry, a hunger for numerical growth, and the lack of fervent prayer—to name just a few. My sin patterns were neither public nor scandalous, but they were real. I had yet to learn that the ministry God gave me is not nearly as important as the triune God who saved me. I knew all of this with my head, but I desperately wanted to experience it in my heart. Do you?

Whatever your ministry may be, you can’t work well unless the fruit of the Spirit is growing in you. Consider this book a firm but gentle nudge to meditate on the pieces of the fruit of the Spirit and to reflect on your need to shepherd in light of Galatians 5:22-23.

“My friend Aaron Menikoff provides both challenge and encouragement to the undershepherds of the Great Shepherd. This book will serve church leaders well.”
-Daniel L. Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
