Hang On! // Love Them, Pastor // Be Cheerfully Difficult about Masks

Ray Ortlund has a good word for the small church pastor not seeing much fruit just now.

"“waiting on the Lord” is not like resting in a hammock with a glass of iced tea; it’s like holding a plank position until our coach tells us we’re done. But that place of unresolved tension is spiritually creative and surprisingly refreshing. Our strength is renewed."


Pastoral wisdom here, with an analogy to parenting
"If you love your children, you want them to be healthy. But if you love your children, you love them whether they are healthy or not."


Toby Sumpter says it with more force than I would, but his basic perspective on masks is right, I think.
