7 Myths about pastors…

Myth #4 – It is easy for pastors to read their Bible and pray.

Whenever a pastor encourages his church to read their Bible or pray, I know that many people think, “if only it was as easy for them as it is the pastor”. Some people have the idea that it is somehow easier for a pastor to do spiritual disciplines than for others. I can tell you from both sides of the coin (working a secular job and in ministry) that it never get’s easier.

All of us struggle with spiritual disciplines. A pastor is no different. It took me years of forcing myself to do spiritual disciplines before it became a habit. That still doesn’t make it easy. I have to drag myself out of bed early to make time for God. I sometimes struggle to focus on what I’m reading or even to slow down enough to pray. It is called “discipline” for a reason. It’s not always fun, but you know it is necessary.

I know that it is hard to make time for these things. Many people think that a pastor can just sit in his office and do it while you have to give your time to a company. Let me tell you that I spend my personal time with God at home, outside of my time working for the church. I don’t believe it is fair to challenge everyone else to make time in their busy schedules for spiritual disciplines and for a pastor to do it in his business day and call it “ministry”.

It’s just as hard for me as it is for you! But keep pressing on…it makes all the difference in the world.

  50. I think what you published was actually very reasonable.

    But, what about this? what if you were to create a awesome post title?
    I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid, but suppose you added
    a title that makes people want more? I mean 7 Myths about pastors… – Tim Moore is kinda boring.

    You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture
    or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your blog a
    little bit more interesting.

  51. It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s
    time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting
