Praying for Your Pastor

People often ask me how they can help me, and just so you know, the most important and most downplayed way anyone can help their pastor is to pray for him.

To help you do that, I came across this blog post. If you're going to do for me what this blog says--and I PRAY that you would--just know that I don't preach on Sunday's, but on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Also, for my own preaching and the preaching of the pastors at Compass that I serve with, I use the acrostic CAPPPP to pray for them. It stands for...

• Clear -- no confusion from what I say, a structure that flows and makes sense
• Accurate -- explains what the text says, which comes from prayer and good study time
• Passionate -- not a lecture, but a sermon for changing the heart
• Pursuasive -- that the audience would be convinced intellectually by the text
• Practical -- that it will be easy to see how to live the text
• Powerful -- that God's Spirit would save the lost and sanctify the believers present
  

So, please add these words to #4 from the blog post above. Thank you so so much!!!
