Pastor Sam Crabtree highlights 15 temptations that a pastor might face.
The five I fear the most:
1. Familiarity—“loss of awe at holy and amazing things.”
4. Mediocrity—doing the bare minimum.
10. Numbing—“TV, food, escapism, banal entertainment.”
13. Envy—“looking over the fence at some other ministry.”
14. Self-rule—following my own agenda rather than taking time to listen and follow the Spirit.
