Dying Naked

The pulpit calls those who are appointed to it like the sea calls its sailor; and like the sea, it batters and bruises, and it does not rest….To preach, to really preach, is to die naked a little at a time, and to know that each time you do it, that you must do it again. -Bruce Thielmann

That is my quote for today as I am preparing for this weekend... If I have time, I would love to work on an article on "Killing the Pastor: The Work of the Cross in the Messenger."

Every time I get the opportunity to preach in "Big Church," it seems God does more work on me than He does on the message. I need it.
