Developing Holy Affections

Philippians 1:8  (ID: gs1469)

Can faithful biblical interpretation without affection lead to life transformation? Theologian Sinclair Ferguson argues that it is possible for people to be correctly instructed without being well-nourished and that holy affection is a key to effective pastoral ministry. As Jesus loves and yearns for us, so a pastor ought to live as an example and expresser of Christ’s love. God’s truth comes with power on the wings of warm care and friendship.
