When Satan temps me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because a sinless savior died
My sinful soul is counted clean
For God the just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
“That pastor is considered controversial.”
JESUS: “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the FALSE prophets.” (Luke 6:26)
A pastor should not look for controversy, but he also cannot be afraid of it, because as a pastor, you don’t have to try to be “controversial” anymore, you just have to be willing to read Bible verses and be honest about what they mean.
A pastor should not care if he is “controversial” to the World.
The World should tremble in fear they might be considered “controversial” before God on Judgment Day.
I'm basically living my basketball career vicariously through #TylerHerro. He's the player I thought I'd be, and wanted to be, but he actually is that.
