		<description><![CDATA[One of the essentials of my ministry is communicating the importance of meaningful church membership. It has been on my radar since before I entered the pastorate, and has been the subject of many posts,  sermons, newsletter articles, committee discussions and private talks since becoming the Pastor of a local church. Many people resist the &#8230; <a href="http://kennichols.org/2010/09/they-did-what/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months back I took a poll via the Twitterverse and Facebook asking whether or not my friends/followers supported the role of women deacons. I asked this question for two reasons: (1) I was working on a sermon on biblical church government, and (2) had recently overheard some pastors in my local Baptist association &#8230; <a href="http://kennichols.org/2010/08/the-office-of-deacon-co-ed-or-not/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The results of your ministry are not instantly seen. You don&#8217;t see the &#8220;fruit of your labors&#8221; for years, even decades.
