Wisdom for new ministers

I was sent this article yesterday and felt it was important enough to pass along to my readers.  It gives some great wisdom for new seminary and Bible school graduates as they begin their ministries, but I think it also has much to say for those of us who have been in the ministry for a season.  Notice the comment about bivocational ministry that is made here.  Any minister starting his or her ministry that is not prepared to do bivocational ministry is not prepared for ministry in the 21st century.  It may be that one will never serve as a bivocational minister, but that may not be a good assumption to make.  Apart from that, I thought the entire article offered good advice that all of us in ministry need to hear. http://www.ethicsdaily.com/14-pieces-of-advice-for-new-ministers-cms-19633
