Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find?\u00a0Pro 20:6<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Why don’t more pastors stick with one church for the long haul? The truth is that faithfulness is hard, faithfulness can seem boring and faithfulness never promises quick success.<\/p>\n
