How many times have you got in the pulpit and weren’t saying anything worth hearing?
Somebody said,
“There are two kinds of preachers…
Those who have to say SOMETHING…
And THOSE who have SOMETHING TO SAY!”
Hmmm….
You know what..
There is a great temptation to…
Lie in the pulpit…
I know you ain’t hearing that…your piety forces you to act surprised and to say, “What are you talking bout now Cox?”
I’m serious though
Why are you not improving?
OK…
That’s a bit presumptuous…
The fact is that if you doing it regularly…you probably are improving…
But…
Are you improving as much as you should?
I was driving on a country road in some dense fog early one morning.
But I still couldn’t see very far in front of me…
But I continued on…
Then seemingly out of nowhere I see a bike rider.
What do you do?
You don’t feel like preaching…
You always had a word to say when it is somebody elses mother who is dead…
You have that word in season when the deacon got the diagnoses…
But suddenly you are caught off guard when it is you…
