Are you a ministry leader who feels discouraged or disillusioned? Are you working really hard—and seeing few results? Are you looking for a perspective on priorities? Are you looking for encouragement and support as you go about your work? Then get back to the fundamentals, says David Roper, author and pastor with nearly fifty years’ experience in ministry. Get back to the fundamentals of effective ministry to people and of pleasing service to God.
Regardless of where and to whom you minister, the fundamentals remain constant. And those fundamentals must come from God. Roper points to such basics as God’s unconditional love, our dependence on Him, friendship, compassion, faithfulness—these are the things that keep us on track in our service to Him.
Says Roper: “What I offer here are ideas about serving others, in no particular order. This is not a how-to-do-ministry book. Rather, it’s a set of musings about some things I’ve learned after many years of ministry. It is my hope that we will learn and find rest in our labor. For, as our Lord assured us, His yoke is meant to be easy and His burden light.”
For those charged with the responsibility of feeding God’s people or for those interested in modeling authentic Christianity in any number of leadership situations, A Burden Shared provides encouragement and truth, giving comfort and guidance to those who need it most.
David Roper and his wife, Carolyn, offer encouragement and counsel to pastoral couples through Idaho Mountain Ministries. David served on the pastoral staff of Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, California, and as senior pastor of Cole Community Church in Boise, Idaho. He is the author of twelve books, including The Strength of a Man, Psalm 23: The Song of a Passionate Heart, and In Quietness and Confidence.
