Pastors Are Highly Susceptible To

If You Don't Take A Sabbath, Something Is Wrong. You're Doing Too Much, You're Being Too Much In Charge. You've Got To Quit, One Day A Week, And Just Watch What God Is Doing When You're Not Doing Anything.

Love Is Not A Word That Describes My Feelings; It Is Not A Technique By Which I Fulfill My Needs; It Is Not An Ideal, Abstract And Pure, On Which I Meditate Or Discourse. It Is Acting In Correspondence With Or In Response To God In Relation To Persons.

We Cannot Be Too Careful About The Words We Use; We Start Out Using Them And They End Up Using Us.

The Latin Words Humus, Soil/earth, And Homo, Human Being, Have A Common Derivation, From Which We Also Get Our Word 'humble.' This Is The Genesis Origin Of Who We Are: Dust - Dust That The Lord God Used To Make Us A Human Being. If We Cultivate A Lively Sense Of Our Origin And Nurture A Sense Of Continuity With It, Who Knows, We May Also Acquire Humility.

Praying Puts Us At Risk Of Getting Involved In God's Conditions. Be Slow To Pray. Praying Most Often Doesn't Get Us What We Want But What God Wants, Something Quite At Variance With What We Conceive To Be In Our Best Interests.
