One Piece Ministers

SUMMARY: Integrity is essential in ministry. It is not just about preaching from the pulpit, but also how you handle daily challenges, conflict, and failure. Integrity means being transparent and authentic, admitting mistakes, and governing your life by principle. People learn from how you handle inconsistencies and faults. Without integrity, even an excellent ministry will eventually collapse. It is important to imitate Jesus in a life of integrity and consistency.

Integrity is one of the most important qualities of any ministry. We servants of God teach with our lives. Children learn from the continuous observation of their parents. Churches learn from the continuous observation of their leaders.

It is not just about what we openly preach from the pulpit, although that is of great importance. After preaching for nearly three decades, I am convinced that Sunday's sermon is not the most important intervention we can make in the lives of our parishioners.
