Tim Keller - What do you tell pastors about their families?

[SoniaSephia]

"cuz they are gonna be mad at you anyway."

yip very true.

well, considering I heard Dr. Keller works 80 hours a week at times, I hardly believes he's adovocating slacking off. However, he takes very seriously the 4th commandment of Sabbath-taking. Perhaps some biblical teaching on Sabbath is what your church may need - especially since we are the most over-worked nation on record. Thanks for responding.

Wow is he saying give less time to ministry than your family?! At my church you would be considered a slacker and non performer!

Maybe you should evaluate where you go to church and whether or not you should be there. Typically when pastors or really any person serves the church in such a way they get burnt out and disillusioned.

Thanks Mac and timipp. I was actually bieng sarcastic though.You guys are in some really good churches because MOST churches operate through a perfomance driven paridigm. Sad but true.
