Encouraging Pastors - We really do need it.

I found this on another local pastor's blog today (which one will you do this week? which one will you do next week?):

Thom Rainer offers some practical suggestions on how to encourage our pastors. 

Here are his main points:

1. Let your pastor know specifically how you learned something from his sermon.
2. Help your pastor have a date night with his wife.
3. Confront one of the pastor’s perpetual critics.
4. Give him a book he would love to have.
5. Do something for the pastor’s wife.
6. Speak publicly on behalf of the pastor.
7. Pray for your pastor.

Go to his post to read his helpful explanations.
