The Suck-it-Up Culture

Re Ministers as a Mission Project, June

Cue the hurtin’ music. Play the violin. Your piece on dysfunctional ministers was a bucket of cod-wallop. Spare the rhetoric. You’d think they were virgins with vapours.

Where did they get the idea ministry was going to be easy? Who told them it was a safe career? It isn’t. It’s one of the toughest jobs going.
Sooner or later every minister, male and female, goes into the trenches to combat with the devil and gets their ass kicked.

So spare us. Don’t cry the blues. Ministry is great. And to whom much is given, much is expected.
