@bruster75 finally had some time to read this article to do it justice!
It's been a good read too and worth waiting to devote some to reading, with some great points to challenge what we think about what we believe, how we believe them and how that affects who we are becoming.
Love that Spurgeon quote too - so true!!
We so often don't check what we're hearing. As a preacher I've often encouraged people to check what is being said by me: mistakes happen with what you say, deliberately or not (often guilty of that latter one)...so checking is always worthwhile and healthy.
Some of my misspoken words have led to great conversations though, when people did ask 'what does that mean?' or (due to my accent when getting excited) 'i didn't quite hear what you said.....' and so on
As a children's minister the challenge to speak to people who, by their very age and nature, are intrinsically trusting, is a greater challenge again.
Thanks for sharing!
@bruster75 Grabbed this to read when I get a minute!
