The Importance of Being Pastors
Pastors who have been called by God to take responsibility in all humankind.
They have been called to preach the Word of God. They have been call to teach the truth to the people of God and they have been called for caring God’s flock. It is the highest calling from God in His ministry. The ministry of shepherds of God’s flock is not simply task. God’s calling for the pastor is to shepherd God’s people and to teach them for the spiritual well- being and knowing His will in their lives. Pastors should show God’s people by being example how they should live lives worthy of God as their Saviour. God’s people require examples if they are to be effectively shepherded.
In Old Testament, the character of God
The significance of pastoral care is communication of
God’s word in a particular form. Therefore the pastoral care can be concerned with the proclamation of forgiveness and the sanctification of man for God
Pastor as spiritual guide
Theology of Pastoral Care Christians are loved by God and that we are called to love one another as Jesus commands in
(John 15:12) “love one another as I have loves you”.

These are image which provides the name “pastoral care”. There are several themes of pastoral care as the image of the good shepherd that can find in the New Testament.

    Healing is a relative term. Healing is also a universal term. The question is how these two fundamental parts of human existence related. The key is found in healing hospitals. Now to many, a healing hospital sounds redundant. However, a healing hospital refers not only physical healing, but also an all-around healing environment. This encompassing theory of a healing hospital provides care for physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs for all patients. Instead of discrimination and rejection of religion and faith, it uses these cornerstones of people’s worldview to reinforce their healing process. This is a very biblical aspect of care

By having them journal their prayers to God daily and encouraging them to read these entries frequently to refresh the memories of those prayers and seek for those that are answered allows for each client to find their way to a spiritual understanding that is not necessarily demonstrated by my impact, but that of God Himself. I am available to answer questions that pertain to the bible, but allow clients to interpret the teaching to their lives and recovery. These approaches allow clients to not rely on my experiences, but on their own encounters and knowledge. Gently guiding them to hear and see how God works in a client’s life is a rewarding and satisfying experience.

    Paul has given an extraordinary of example of humbleness to those who preach and teach the Gospel. Although, the Apostle Paul was well known prepared on any theological subject, he went to Jerusalem to meet with other apostles to verify that his message was alienated with the Gospel. Therefore, pastors and church leaders should look intentionally for spiritual mentors that help them to grow in their knowledge of the Gospel. (121, Habermas)

    Pastors tend to follow by the same principals John Stuart Mill expresses in this quote. Pastors are always dedicating themselves to helping others in various things: such as; giving advice, offering prayer, hosting food giveaways, etc. They live their lives blessed each and every day because of the happiness they find in helping others. In McMahon’s article, “The Pursuit of Unhappiness,” Mill argued, “those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some subject other than their own happiness,” (para 11). He explains how people who focus on or help others before themselves are

  • Judaism vs. Christianity

    343 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Christianity, the emphasis is placed on love of God rather than on obeying his will. People must believe that God is merciful and loves them as well. As a reflection of God’s love, people must also love other people (and the whole humanity in general) and forgive their enemies. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus endorses agape, or selfless love (in contrast to eros, or possessive love), which consists of dedication to another person’s good, even at the expense of our own good and happiness. People should practice peace and nonviolence, return good for evil and love for suffering (“turn the other cheek”).

  • Pastoral Counseling Essay

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    The shepherd and sheep relationship is the best illustration for the relationship between pastor and parishioners. When Jesus asked Simon Peter does he love him three times and said to him “Feed my sheep”, the shepherd and flock relationship has been set. Since Jesus is our good shepherd (Jn. 10:11a), he laid out a good example for us to follow - to lay down his life for the sheep. (Jn. 10:11b) Thus, the wellness of both in and out of the parishioners should always be the concern in the pastors’ hearts. Soul care for the people is essential. Christian friendship is the foundation of Christian soul care. Pastoral ministry including preaching, teaching, and worship forms the broad context of pastoral counseling. Pastoral care is within pastoral ministry but broader than pastoral counseling. God’s love is the source and motivation. Within the pastoral care, there are spiritual direction and pastoral
