I. Introduction 1.
Relationships are more important in ministry than any other profession.
Makes things happen no matter what it takes Rather than actively doing ministry, this minister will often direct ministry rather like an executive leader or director. The authority of the minister is directly related to the model of ministry followed by the minister. A pastor s authority is earned, not conferred. The use of power is closely related to the minister s authority. It is his by virtue of his profession, and he is therefore responsible for its use.
