Badger on p1-8 - the chasm

Gosh, I can relate to those opening paragraphs, especially in previous years when life had not been overtaken by other 'chasms':  how to unite or differentiate between personal Christian faith and pastoral work was sometimes a constant undercurrent.   And at the other end of this, chronologically speaking, I remember reading Lloyd-Jones saying it worried him how many ministers retired and then their spiritual life evaporated because it was entirely bound up with pastoral work.  And of course the danger can run the other way: that we remove our personal life from it completely and do an impersonal job.

    Craig Barnes has some interesting stuff on the personal/vocational interplay in his book The Pastor as Minor Poet. Worth checking out.
