原文 “Self-care is the wisdom to ensure, as far as humanly possible, a wise and orderly work that conserves and lengthens a pastor’s ministry. It means understanding the meaning of positive health and working toward it as a way of ensuring that we will remain effective in the great work God has given us to do.” – Peter Brain, Going the Distance “自我关顾是一种智慧，确保我们在人类的能力范围之内，确保牧者的事工可以保持、延长所采取的智慧、有序的工作。这意味着理解积极健康的意义，并采取行动，保证我们可以有效地担当神所赐予我们的伟大工作。” – Peter Brain, Going the Distance ...

Tim是PCA按立的教导长老，几年前离开了教会牧师的职位，开始在Midland一带植堂。 我们在一次休斯顿的T4T中级培训上偶然相遇，发现原来从前就认识。我们都是CIU毕业的，而且我曾经在他原来的教会访问过几次。 ...
