Pastors, Be Faithful to God's Word
Jon Gilmore
Pastor, being faithful to God’s Word is your ministry. It is your calling, and it alone is your legacy. Do not underestimate what God can do with His word through you, and be on guard against overestimating what you can do. Be faithful to speak God’s word, and sometimes speak simply, because you can never fully know who is listening, hearing, and receiving it.

Unpacking Forgiveness: Biblical Answers for Complex Questions and Deep Wounds
Chris Brauns
"True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree on what forgiveness is and how it should take place." This question is part of Chris Brauns's Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into his book and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. The truth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on this subject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theological thinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face to provide readers with a solid understanding of biblical forgiveness.
Only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deep for us to find healing on our own, and the questions are too complex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. This book goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God's grace and the necessity of forgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice.
