What Kind of a Pastor?

I like to read although I do not read enough of what is current in the modern church movement today. One thing I have noticed about churches in general in the USA is that the trend is to be relevant. Pastors are resorting to a multitude of gimmicks and new ideas to make their churches grow and seem less offensive to those outside the church and to the 30 and under crowd who profess to love Jesus but not His church. I came across this article from Tim Challies' blog site. He has given permission to print it here. Could this be the kind of pastor God is looking for? Rather than pursue new ways to make church attractive, could it be that God is looking for pastors who become new men?

The Face of God by Tim Challies - posted 5/31/2010

"While skimming through some of those books that showed up last week (see yesterday's post) I came across some great information about Robert Murray McCheyne. This is drawn from Mike Sarkissian's book Before God and really challenged me as I prepared to preach today in Sarnia, Ontario. It shamed me with my own lack of preparation, my own (relative) prayerlessness in approaching the pulpit. I need to be more like McCheyne!
The time McCheyne spent before the Lord gave him a better perspective of the high calling God had placed upon him as a shepherd of God's people. He was known for saying, "I have no desire but the salvation of my people, by whatever instrument." Little did he know, McCheyne would be an instrument God would use for centuries to come. His time with God in prayer and meditation manifested itself in a passion for souls and effective preaching.
Dr. Estrada explained the depth of McCheyne's personal holiness in relation to bringing forth the Word of God to his congregation:
His preaching and all other activities were preceded by long periods of prayer. He kept by this rule: 'that he must first see the face of God before he could undertake any duty.' 'I ought to spend the best hours of the day in communion with God. It is my noblest and most fruitful employment, and is not to be thrust into any corner.' Both in his preaching and teaching he was very much concerned with feeding the congregation with the 'whole counsel of God.'
McCheyne preached the Word of God with a certain gravity and solemnity. He sought after the unction of the Holy Spirit and spoke intently to his congregation. His pulpit was said to have been wet with his tears as he urged people to commit their lives to Christ. This seriousness to the calling of God would bring forth much fruit for the Kingdom."

Any pastor out there want to join me in becoming a pastor who is earnestly seeking to please God and not men?
