Truth According the HB Charles Jr.
HB Charles Jr. is an outstanding preacher and wise beyond his years. (He’s also one of our featured speakers at this year’s National Conference on Preaching.) In a recent post at his website, HB listed 103 truths he has learned during his 21 years of pastoral ministry. Among them:
• Sheep bite.
• Faithful preaching does not guarantee church growth.
• Just because there is a crowd does not mean there is a church.
• All church fights are bad. But some church fights are necessary.
• It happens after prayer.
• The most important people in a pastor’s life are those he can have an honest conversation with.
• Be careful of giving members multiple positions of authority in the church.
• Ministerial success cannot be determined by the size of a pastor’s congregation.
• Preaching can get you into trouble. And preaching can get you out of trouble.
• No one is indispensable.
• The better the worship is the better my preaching is.
• Pick your battles carefully. Every hill is not worth dying on.
• People will remember how you treat them long after they have forgotten your sermons.
