## Resource

The new minister has arrived. He loves the Lord. He loves the Scriptures. He loves the local church. But all is not well in the congregation he has been called to serve. What is he to do? How is he to build? Long-time friend of the Banner, veteran pastor Peter Barnes, offers counsel to a young man in such a position.
