The Life Of Faith Isn't Meant For

I Believe God Takes The Things In Our Lives - Family, Background, Education - And Uses Them As Part Of His Calling. It Might Not Be To Become A Pastor. But I Don't Think God Wastes Anything.

Prayer Gets Us In On What God Is Doing.

Isn't It Interesting That All Of The Biblical Prophets And Psalmists Were Poets?

The Gospel Is Never About Everybody Else; It Is Always About You, About Me. The Gospel Is Never Truth In General; It's Always A Truth In Specific. The Gospel Is Never A Commentary On Ideas Or Cultures Or Conditions; It's Always About Actual Persons, Actual Pains, Actual Troubles, Actual Sin; You, Me; Who You Are And What You've Done; Who I Am And What I've Done.

The Most Important Thing A Pastor Does Is Stand In A Pulpit Every Sunday And Say, 'let Us Worship God.' If That Ceases To Be The Primary Thing I Do In Terms Of My Energy, My Imagination, And The Way I Structure My Life, Then I No Longer Function As A Pastor.
