Remember me

This site is for pastors and Christian leaders who are striving to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission (Matthew 22 and 28) through the local church. To join in the fellowship and collaboration on Pastors.com, we ask that you agree with this statement:

I affirm the essentials of classic Christianity such as the authority and inspiration of the Bible, the Trinitarian nature of God, and the sufficiency of Christ for salvation. Further, I commit myself to the work of the local church and in taking Christ's message of faith, hope, and love to a world that is lost without Him.

This is a place where pastors come for inspiration, encouragement, fellowship, practical help, tools and resources for growing a healthy church. Our deep desire is to serve local pastors, just like you, all over the world.

I used to go to New York in the 80s. There were lots of homeless...

`Sex-y' sermons cause stir in rural Alabama
From the article: It's one thing for a church in a big city like Dallas or Atlanta to tackle the ticklish topic of sex. It blends in with the urban scene. It's another thing when a small-town congregation puts up billboards with the phrase "Great sex: God's way" on rural highways to promote a sermon series. You can't even legally buy beer in Cullman County, and a preacher is talking about S-E-X on Sunday morning?
