The Poor Are Not A Problem To

The Role Of The Pastor Is To Embody The Gospel. And Of Course To Get It Embodied, Which You Can Only Do With Individuals, Not In The Abstract.

Worship Does Not Satisfy Our Hunger For God; It Whets Our Appetite.

If People Don't Know Their Pastor, It's Easy To Put The Pastor On A Pedestal And Depersonalize Him Or Her. It's Also Easy For Pastors, Who Don't Know Their Congregations, Simply To Classify Congregants As Saved Or Unsaved, Involved Or Not Involved, Tithers Or Non-tithers.

Worship Is An Act That Develops Feelings For God, Not A Feeling For God That Is Expressed In An Act Of Worship.

Too Much Of The World's Happiness Depends On Taking From One To Satisfy Another. To Increase My Standard Of Living, Someone In Another Part Of The World Must Lower His. The Worldwide Crisis Of Hunger That We Face Today Is A Result Of That Method Of Pursuing Happiness. Industrialized Nations Acquire Appetites For More And More Luxuries And Higher And Higher Standards Of Living, And Increasing Numbers Of People Are Made Poor And Hungry. It Doesn't Have To Be That Way.
