Irrefutable Truth

Preaching,and theology can be argued all day long, and often nullified by rationalisation, but words of personal witness carry a strength not found in exposition.

This past Labor day , I heard for the first time, the detailed witness of our Territorial Commander. It resonated with reality and hit with the authority of words from the heart. Moving, personal pages, straight from the book of one's life.

In the position of authority that is carried by any spiritual leader , there needs to be the ground zero of their story. The clear-cut account of calling and response to the Saviors' love and the Holy Spirits' conviction. It lays the foundation for the building blocks of their opportunities to inspire and lead.

With it comes the vulnerability of humanness and the touch of authenticity that opens the hearts of fellow believers. It reminds us that we are all, veterans of similar battles and members of the same body.

Drawing nourishment from the same source. Roots that not only provide nourishment to the whole tree but also stability in storms. It allows the mature tree to stand and provide shade and shelter for those who benefit by the shadow of its branches.

Amen!!..........to courage and truth.
