He pretty much looked like everyone else in his time, dressed like everyone else...what made him so different to the people he was teaching,talking with, forgiving? What made it so apparent he was God's son to those people? These are the things that we must think about,that set us all apart and make<br />people know there is "someting different" about us. This would pertain to pastors as well as "lay"Christains.<br />Yes as pastors you are called but I also believe that the way you dress or modes of transportation you choose do not in and of themselves spell out your "calledness" There is more and it is probably not an easy find. I am intruiged by the title of the book..I may have to geta copy and read it..<br />Peace!<br />Debbieteacher_debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838729224955876215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522155340743471839.post-31935721126258917062011-03-15T14:19:03.137-07:002011-03-15T14:19:03.137-07:00James (or should I say, Reverend Kim), this is a c...James (or should I say, Reverend Kim), this is a challenging word. Makes me wonder how much I may have slacked simply by overplaying the card of "I'm a person just like everyone else." One considerations, however: have pastors given people more reasons not to trust them, or has society in general grown to distrust institutions and their authority figures? Clearly some of both, but it's a complex matter to sort out.Matt Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10643694284474341275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522155340743471839.post-35595533576995588182011-03-15T12:48:02.897-07:002011-03-15T12:48:02.897-07:00Hi James, hope you are doing well...Looks like a g...Hi James, hope you are doing well...Looks like a good read...I'm reading Eugene Peterson's memoir, "Pastor" now - didn't know he was a "Presbycostal"...some interesting chapters on his formation as a pastor, church planting and growth...Deborah Hollifieldhttp://www.fpcguymon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522155340743471839.post-90562431608122245522011-03-15T10:57:52.104-07:002011-03-15T10:57:52.104-07:00this reminds me of clint eastwood western. and eve...this reminds me of clint eastwood western. and even the movie code-talkers. the missions of holy men, known to god, and reconized by believers, we be in the light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
