Astounding
Posted by wagardner - 14/01/08 at 02:01:00 pmI have seen this on several blog recently and I hope you will consider what it says! Let’s be sure we are in the ministry for the right reason!
- 1500 Pastors a month leave the ministry due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention in the church.
- 4000 new churches start each year while 7,000 close.
- 50% of pastors marriages will end in divorce.
- Almost 40% of pastors have had an extra-marital affair.
- 70% of pastors continually fight depression.
- 80% of pastors feel unqualified and discouraged in their role and would leave the ministry if they had some other way of making a living.
- 95% of pastors do not pray regularly with their spouse.
- 80% of pastors kids have to seek profession help for depression.
- 70% say the only time they spend studying God’s word is when they are prepping for a sermon.
- 80% of pastors spouses wish their husbands would find another profession.
- After 3 years in ministry only 50% of pastors still felt “called.”
- The majority of pastors wives said that the most destructive even that occurred in their marriage and family was the day they entered ministry.
I don’t want any of this to be true of Vision Baptist Church and neither do you!
