I’ve got to be honest with you this evening. I am a bit nervous. People sometimes ask me if I get nervous before I preach, and usually I tell them “not such much nervous as expectant, but maybe a little nervous.” Today, I can say that I am nervous, and I am nervous for a few reasons. First, I am in a new place with new poeple and not in the comfort zone of my old familiar pulpit back in Tennessee. Secondly, stepping into a pulpit on any given Sunday is a bit like jumping out of an airplane. Once I am up here, I am up here--with only the wind of the Holy Spirit buoying up my Scriptural parachute, hoping against hope that I land in one piece. Of course, I pray and study and prepare my manuscript with great detail and forethought, but the end result is always God’s doing, not mine, and that is a bit frightening.

Maybe through this article I can cast a bit of light on what it takes and to dispel some of the misunderstandings, confusion and prejudices we have to face. |
