Kevin DeYoung via Justin Taylor (where there’s a long video about these)
- Beware of preaching all your battles from seminary.
- Be careful with offhanded comments.
- Be yourself.
- Remember there are different kinds of people listening.
- Don’t let personal conflict creep into your message.
- Make sure your best stuff is from the text.
- Be a pastor for the whole church, not just part of it.
- Don’t give them the whole elephant.
- Root for others and don’t compare.
- Tell your congregation you love them and are glad to be their pastor.
