dc.description.abstract | Pastors understand the importance of planning for ministry, but do pastors always pay attention
to where their heart is when they plan? Pastors can easily plan as if everything depended on
themselves and as a result forget about God. On the other hand, pastors can easily sit back and do
no planning whatsoever, while hiding behind all kinds of excuses. This thesis starts by
explaining the importance of planning and looking at the literature that has an influence on
planning. Following that, the biblical principles of planning are laid out as the basis for how
pastors understand planning to the glory of God along with the common errors that pastors fall
into. Finally, the constant struggle of balancing these biblical principles are explained. | en_US |
