Emphasis Preaching Journal

We who are privileged to be ministers in the church serve in a long line of preachers, pastors, priests. Hands were laid on our heads in the hour of ordination by men and women who had themselves knelt in ordination and felt the hands of ministers on their heads. When we pronounce the benediction at the close of the worship service, we are aware that ministers before us have pronounced that word of blessing upon their congregations.
