Shaking Us Loose from Pastoral Professionalism

The title of this book is meant to shake us loose from the pressure to fit in to the cultural expectations of professionalism. It is meant to sound an alarm against the pride of station and against the expectation of parity in pay and against the borrowing of paradigms from the professional world. Of for the radically Bible-saturated, God-centered, Christ-exalting, self-sacrificing, mission-mobilizing, soul-saving, culture-confronting pastors!

– John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals (Nashville, TN: B&H Publishers, 2002), xii.

A worship service at the Mount Beulah Evangelical Baptist Church in Point Fortin, Trinidad, in January 2007 where Roddie Taylor pastors. I am playing the keyboard during their praise and worship time and later had the pleasure of preaching from Mark 14:1-11 on "Is Worship a Waste of Time?" Oh, how I am having Trinidad withdrawals!
