Although a pastor is required of high level of ethics, the modern church becomes large with rich human and material resources. For this reason, issues of sex, money and fame among pastors evoke social problems. This phenomenon revile entire Christianity as well as an individual pastor and his family, which blocks the door for the Gospel as well as is tried before the judge of “Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'”(Matthew 7:22-23) when Jesus comes again. Under this situation, this study proposed 11 piety training methods for pastors through the resolution of Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). First, method through priority; Second, method through the Scriptures; Third, method through removal of sinful nature; Fourth, method through time management, Fifth, method through emotion control; Sixth, method through sufferings; Seventh, method through throwing away; Eighth, method through the attitude of pastor; Ninth, method through verbal life; Tenth, method through personality development; Eleventh, method through repentance. In the modern society where the temptation of sin is extremely strong, the present author hopes that pastors can overcome the temptations of sex, money and fame and play the roles of bright light for the world by implementing piety training.
