The Business of Ministers

C. H. Spurgeon on the ministry of ministers of the Gospel: "Our business as ministers, when the young lambs are brought in, is to remember the injunction, 'Feed my lambs'; take care of them; give them plenty of meat" (Spurgeon's Sermons, vol. 3, Baker, 238).

Can this be accomplished in our churches with one thirty-five minute shot per week, however good that message may be? What else must a minister do to ensure a steady diet of the Word of God in the life of his flock? What else must he do by way of caring for his people to see to it that the Word of God nourishes and strengthens each and every lamb?
