John Murray "The Work of the Minister of the Gospel"

John Murray was a professor (at Westminister Seminary in Philadelphia) and mentor of James Grier, who was one of my professors at Cedarville College (now University) and Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary (now GR Theological S). He continues to be a mentor to me for life and ministry.

Here is a link to an ordination charge preached by Professor Murray, which compellingly describes the authentic work of a minister of the Gospel, in terms of both the preaching of the Word and of pastoral care.
