Pastors, please feed the sheep! I’ve noticed that sheep who are fed low-nutrition, fast-food leftovers either shrivel up spiritually (sometimes in agony of starvation, sometimes dumbly, without awareness) or else start feeding in other, richer pastures. Neither will be good for the flock in your charge! So please take extra time away from your business or employment, dig more deeply in God’s Word than you ever have before, and craft rich meals. Seek the training you need to excel. God bless all who are already doing this!
