In the Public Eye
“If you tell a friend who asked about it that your brother in Christ installed your kitchen cabinets upside down, that is not gossip. People who do not want public evaluation of the quality of their work are people who have no business being in business. They should just buy a shovel and dig where they are told to”

Or Fifty
“He who cannot write anything well cannot write a sermon well, although we often think he can. To him who has no literary skill all subjects are alike. If you cannot swim, it matters not whether there be twenty or forty feet of water.”

Let the Stones Cry Out, p. 19
Hard Words
The Goodness of Work
“One of the first things we must recognize is that work does not exist in the world because of the Fall. Work got a lot more difficult because of our sin, and do labor under the ramifications of a curse. But God gave the cultural mandate to mankind, a mandate which involved an enormous amount of work, before the entrance of sin.”
