The Minister’s Best Time and Talents

Charles Bridges reminds ministers that “it is indeed a ’neglect of the gift of God that is in us,’  to trifle in the study or in the pulpit. God will bless our endeavors – not our idleness. Our Master, and our people for our Master’s sake, have a just claim to our best time and talents, our most matured thoughts, and most careful study.”

– Charles Bridges, The Christian Ministry (1830; Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1991), 194.
