“The Spirit which Jesus promised would lead his followers ‘into all truth’ is very actively at work wherever he is allowed. Some of his work is painful in the extreme. There has often to be the breaking-up of old ways of thinking, the expansion of responsibility, and the checking of priorities. Anyone who opens his personality to the living Spirit takes a risk of being considerably shaken.”
J. B. Phillips, Ring of Truth: A Translator’s Testimony. New York: Macmillan Company, 1967, page 122.
I am a pastor, a husband, and father. A small, town about twenty miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I do some carving in wood and small stones. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I've recently taken up fishing for the first time since I was a kid. I'm blessed in that regard to have a very nice trout stream flowing right past my church.
