I wonder what pulpit committee would even consider, either for pastor or as a visiting minister, a preacher with this description: Has eye trouble; is not much of a speaker; does not play up to the pillars of the church; has had a run-in with one of the main leaders; respects them but says he is called from higher up; has no home; stirs up the people; is called an upsetter; is old fashioned; condemns false teaching openly; won’t play ball with the liberals; believes in church discipline; oh, yes, is often in jail. Am I trying to be funny? No. This man’s name is Paul the Apostle.
Today’s churches need more preachers like the Apostle Paul.
