I thought we should start off the New Year right by reminding ourselves of an essential role we have as pastor-teachers.
Take some time right now and watch this message I delivered to those about to enter ministry. My challenge to them is the challenge that you and I will face every week this year: to preach the Word.
—Chuck
Thanks for the reminder, and the EXAMPLE your life and ministry continue to be. May God continue to bless you as you have blessed us. To HIM be the glory!

Dear Dr. Swindoll,
Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
We needed that reminder. I needed that reminder!
Please, as you as God gives you breath, don't ever stop reminding us of what it takes for us to one day hear our Lord say to us "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
Your fellow servant,
Jim

Here is my info. I forgot to enter it with my comments. If there is any way for me to acquire a copy of this message to the students, I would be willing to purchase a copy for my personal review. It was super!

Probably the best encouragement that I have had for along time as a pastor. Thank you! Even if I can't get a copy on DVD for my personal review. I would love to be able to review it from time to time, it was a great encouragement! Thanks.

Thank you, Chuck! Your words have rekindled within me a longing to keep on preaching the Word!

I have listened to this message 3 or 4 times, but need to be reminded again...preach the word. Along with your book, Church Awakening, every preacher needs to hear this. There is a well known pastor, whose name I shall not mention who also needs to hear this message. Because all of us will answer to God.
