This hit me during my studies: One man said this about his hypocritical pastor.
“He is such a good preacher, he should never get out of the pulpit. But he is such a poor christian that he should never get into the pulpit”
Last p.m. shared a meal with some preachers after service...they asked questions about preaching, sermon structure, trusted authors to read, and Dr Malone's influence on my life. 0% gossip, foolishness, or know-it-all-ism at the table. Thank-you, Breathren, you encouraged me!
Appreciate the extremely encouraging phone call from @PreacherCochran , this afternoon! So appreciate the "next generation", that's showing such strong leadership in this crucial hour!
