Reading a book about this german dude who actually looks like Abraham Lincoln!I think I'll get a lot out of the book - he was a great preacher, a great man of God, he had great faith...
Some things I have been challenged about already:
- He preached about the Lord's return - have I ever mentioned that? Do we live in the light of his return?
- He prayed that people would respond to his message/he prayed for converts - do I pray for the hearers of the word before I speak/preach/teach
- He offended people and said that if people weren't offended then he probably wasn't preaching the true gospel - he liked offending people, not for the sake of offending people tho
- he said that,
"the important feature of your life is not so much what you do but the formation of your own strong Christian character"
