Wise counsel from a Toronto pastor

Ken Davis serves as Sr. Pastor at Thistletown Baptist Church, Toronto. We could do with a lot more men like him in our evangelical pulpits. He is a true pastor who loves and serves his congregation faithfully, and in a manner that truly glorifies the God he loves.

Today I read Ken’s blog post,  “Building in Vain” (May 20, 2010), a reflection on Psalm 127. It is one on which every pastor could profitably reflect.

Ken is a seasoned pastor & preacher with solidly reformed convictions, but he never advocates a passive wait and see attitude toward gospel ministry. He concluded his post with these words:

Use everything that God provides for the propagation of the Gospel and the sanctification of the saints. But never trust the tools that God gives you more than the God who gives them.

If you have a moment, visit the Thistletown Baptist Church site and benefit from the growing body of posts filled with wise, biblically-rooted counsel. And if you live in the northwest side of the GTA, and are seeking a church where Christ is honoured and the Word of God faithfully preached, Thistletown Baptist Church would be an excellent choice.

    Well David,
    Thanks for your kind comments. What can I say? May God grant me grace to resemble your kind remarks. I guess the next lunch is on me.

  2. Oy Vey! If I can get a lunch this easy, watch this blog for more kind remarks!

    Seriously, however, you are a fine example of what it means to lead a congregation – to serve as a pastor.

    I do pray that God will continue to empower you to do his will at Thistletown.
