"I am a shepherd who preaches, not a preacher who shepherds. In other words, I am not merely a bible teacher exegeting the text, but a pastor walking through life with the people I serve and applying the texts I exegete." Hershael York
"God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Do not let ministry steal intimacy with God from you. If one has to go, it’s the ministry. Without question. Nothing replaces our pursuit of Jesus & his pursuit of us as the absolute & uncontested priority. It’s what we have. It’s what makes it all worth it.HE makes it worth it.
@ReformedMike It's interesting that he doesn't see the flaw in his argument. Maybe if he simply replaced "abortion" with "slavery", he'd see why it fails.
