Praying for Pastors

I am preaching this morning from 1 Thessalonians 5:25-28 and focusing primarily on the charge to congregations to pray for their shepherds. You can read that message here. God used some writings from John Piper and Gardiner Spring to minister to my heart prior to this message. They have written two articles that every church member should read and file. Piper gives a short synopsis of what he asks his people to pray for their pastors and Spring makes an impassioned plea to pray for pastors.
