"We pastors are being killed by the professionalizing of the pastoral ministry," he writes. "The mentality of the professional is not the mentality of the prophet. It isn't the mentality of the slave of Christ. Professionalism has nothing in connection with the essence and heart and soul of the Religious ministry. A lot more professional we long to be, the more spiritual loss of life we will leave inside our wake.

"Brothers, we are not professionals. We have been outcasts. We have been aliens and exiles on the globe. Our citizenship is at Heaven, and we wait around with eager expectation for god, the father (Phil. 3:20). You can not professionalize the love for His showing without eliminating it. Which is being killed. "The world pieces the agenda of the professional man; God pieces the agenda of the spiritual man.
