The Burdened Leader and the Complaining People

As the Israelites grumbled and complained about their circumstances, Moses began to feel the weight of their burden and forgot to intercede on their behalf, instead complaining to God about the people. This dynamic is mirrored in pastoral ministry, where leaders can fall prey to unrealistic expectations and grumbling, leading to burnout and a lack of faithfulness. It is essential for leaders to depend on God and remember that their role is to feed the sheep with the food that God has provided, not to carry the burden of the people's salvation. [... more]

True pastoral ministry begins with loving the Lord's sheep, not just as a duty, but as a genuine expression of Christ's love for them. [... more]
