Pastoral Visitation a “Sign of Sickness” and a “Step Towards Death”?
I’m glad to see David Murray countering an article that concerned me just as much as it concerned him. “I was stunned and shocked when I read Thom Rainer’s recent blog post Fifteen Reasons Why Your Pastor Should Not Visit Much. It wasn’t just what was written but who wrote it–Thom Rainer!”

A person with an increasingly grateful heart is one with a decreasingly complaining mouth.
