Wise and challenging words.

There is nothing wrong with ‘pastoral fame’ if the Lord has raised a man up for HIS glory and the man can remain humble before the Lord. I remember a man who was constantly being praised outside services with phrases like ‘Wasn’t he lovely!’ and he fell publicly and dramatically. Once outside a church after you preached I heard exactly the same words and I said to the speaker, if you love that young man do not praise him like that you will ruin his ministry. The Lord has given you a precious gift, as long as you use it for HIM and don’t pay any heed to man you will be safe. The world NEEDS men who can stand up PUBLICLY and proclaim the riches of Christ. Every blessing to you.
