Paul Tripp’s story.

I mentor lots of pastors, and Paul Tripp’s story is not an unusual one, though many pastors are as clueless as Paul was.   I have not mentored Paul — just read his story.  We have come to expect/demand that our pastors be the together ones, and they had better not disappoint us, and this encourages them to — want to believe the lie, live in denial.  Everyone loses, especially the family.   Just because churches are growing, doesn’t mean they are growing by conversion growth.  Kingdom re-arrangement doesn’t require supernatural power, supernatural humility.  Human power will do.  Christian leaders are the weakest links in the Church being the Church — the ones most needy of further overhaul by Jesus, no matter how much He’s overhauled us to date.  Seems to me.
