Even if there was 30 hours in a day, I still would not able to get it all done. Dr. Carson's comments resonate with me today, far better than four or five years ago. A great many times when I step down from the pulpit I wonder if my words have pierced hearts, renewed minds, and inspired souls or if they are glad that "church" is over so that they can go to lunch.David Zookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746413790716716310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28988815.post-17268491926059076992008-03-27T13:29:00.000-05:002008-03-27T13:29:00.000-05:00It was said, by a very faithful and helpful preach...It was said, by a very faithful and helpful preacher of the gospel. <BR/><BR/>He is well known, and not known hardly at all. Henry Mahan<BR/><BR/>And he said, His best sermon, was in his dream,then he woke up.<BR/><BR/>As a young man listening to such a one who has been called a modern day spurgeon, now fading in his old age, I did not know what he meant, until I started preaching. <BR/><BR/>I do now. I will not listen to my sermons, unless I want to get depressed. Or to humble myself.<BR/><BR/>But I like what our LORD said in luke 17:10 " So likewise, ye, when you have done all that is commanded of you, say, We are unprofitable servants. We have done that which is our duty to do!<BR/><BR/> <BR/>I'ts a wonder God would use any, but this is His means.<BR/><BR/>The foolishness of preaching!<BR/><BR/>By Grace AloneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
