It's great to listen in on the inner dialogue of a proclaimer I respect so much! <br>In my own proclamation, I continually have to remind myself of what it is that I am called to proclaim. It is tempting to slip into moralism or Biblical teaching or feel-good band-aid distribution. All of those approaches give me something I can DO... and they are all something I can CONTROL. Yet, none of them are good news.<br>The Gospel grabs hold of us and transforms us. That is its power and its threat! The Gospel is not about me or you or any other proclaimer... <br>So, while it is more safe and comfortable to talk about God, we all need to experience God's Word breaking into our world!<br>Ryan, I'm grateful to have a colleague searching for that place!</p>GloriaSFri, 13 Mar 2009 18:28:56 -0000
