Don’t Bury Your Head in the Sand
Having watched too many Pentecostal pastors’ utter disregard for thinking things through, I believe a good many of their quandaries in ministry could be solved with more careful planning and more articulated thinking. So, don’t hear me calling for an ostrich-spirituality where leaders bury their head in the sand and try to navigate the complexities of church “by faith” and the Holy Spirit. David led Israel with integrity and “skillful [intelligent, discerning, analytical] hands” (Psalm 78:72).
