Ponderings

This is not the time for pedantic posturing – this is a season for passionately declaring that, “The whole head is sick and the whole heart is faint,” (Isaiah 1:5).  

Woe be to the neighbor who, when his neighbor’s house is on fire at 2:00 A.M., lightly taps on the front door of the fiery house, lest he startle awake his neighbor.

You have to be willing to die if you are going to live; otherwise you find yourself taking counsel of your fears in decision-making; including what to say, how to live, what to teach, what to preach.

Is it even possible for a seminary, even a seminary with a “high view” of Scripture, to be prophetic when it would result in loss of revenue?

The love of money makes us cowards; we cannot speak truly, we cannot live truly, we cannot truly follow Jesus Christ.

You have to be willing to be poor, to lose everything, if you are going to live; otherwise you find yourself taking counsel of your bank account in decision-making; including what to say, how to live, what to teach, what to preach.
