At the weekend, I had the truly great pleasure of leading the congregation in prayer at the installation of a former student, Hunter Powell, as one of the pastors at Guilford Baptist Church just outside Washington, D.C.  The charge was given by Phil Ryken and the sermon, on 1 Corinthians 4, on the marks of a real minister, by Mark Dever.   The latter can be heard here and is well worth the time.

Another good piece on ministry is `Toward a Word-Centered Ministry' by Chris Anderson.  You can read it here.
