Description

"One of the surest signs of the blessing of God upon His people is the gift of spiritual shepherds who faithfully care for His flock," writes Paul Tautges. Sadly, pastors today have become business professionals who are no longer content to shepherd their flocks by teaching the Word of God and caring for their souls, but instead farm their people out to psychological counsellors, who are incapable of meeting the real needs of people.
 Here is an urgent appeal for teaching shepherds to return to authentic biblical ministry: to be tenacious in their study and preaching of the whole counsel of God, and tender in their application of its demands to the lives of God's sheep through the personal and pastoral ministry of counselling. In his companion book, Counsel One Another, Paul defended the role of every believer in the discipleship process; here he concentrates on the specific ministry of pastors and elders, particularly their role in leading God's flock to spiritual maturity and equipping it for effective service. He reminds ministers that they have a privileged responsibility to function as under shepherds for Christ, the Chief Shepherd, but those who are faithful will receive an eternal reward.

"This book gets it right! Comprehensive and convincing, Counsel Your Flock shows how true biblical counseling and preaching fit hand-in-glove. Those who preach, teach, or counsel regularly are sure to benefit greatly from this helpful resource.
—Dr. John MacArthur, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California

The ministry of counseling has for too long been relegated to the professional counselor. Paul Tautges brings the biblical command for discipleship right back to the local church and to all believers. Rather than send people who are struggling spiritually, socially, and emotionally to a limited group of professionals, Tautges makes the case theologically that the responsibility for all church members is to disciple one another and to restore hurting people. In this companion to his previous book, Counsel One Another, he makes it clear that for this one-another ministry to take place it is essential that pastors understand the key role that they play in the discipleship process. Believers need a way to measure their pastor’s discipleship philosophy and skills and pastors need a way to teach them to be involved in the counseling, discipleship, restoring-one-another ministry. This is a book about local church discipleship, of which leadership is a big part. Counsel Your Flock addresses an important need. This is a must read!
