Most pastors will not preach to thousands. They will not write influential books, they will not supervise large staffs, and they will never see more than modest growth. They will plug away at their care of the aged, at their visitation, at their counseling, at their Bible studies and preaching… Most of us – let us be frank – are ordinary pastors.
