“An accurate awareness of the other’s faults does not mean that you yourself are sinless. It is, rather, quite possibly an indication that you are the central problem” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 96).
Put It All to Use
“No kind of knowledge can be utterly useless to a preacher” (Broadus, Preparation and Delivery, p. 120).
Eating the Bag Itself
This morning I sent out a link to what I called an edifying food rant, which you can read here. Having done so, I thought it might be good for me to summarize a few basic observations about food and the modern Christian. This is by no means exhaustive, but it should give the lay …
