Comments on: Indescribable (Part 1) http://www.southsideblog.com/2007/10/23/indescribable-part-1/ Blog by Matt Walls & Billy Andrews Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:48:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Bocephus http://www.southsideblog.com/2007/10/23/indescribable-part-1/#comment-27 Bocephus Wed, 24 Oct 2007 00:31:35 +0000 http://www.southsideblog.com/2007/10/23/indescribable-part-1/#comment-27 I understand what Dr. Hunt is trying to say, but it seems from the highlights that being a preacher is a prerequisite to experience the virtues listed above. Is your life marked by God's will in your activity because you stand behind a pulpit or should that be the mark of the everyday Christian? History and tradition hold that many preachers today feel like they have more access to Christ than do those who are not "called to preach". Of course this message was directed mainly to preachers and that could be justification for the message. But the title of the message would seem to argue that when pastors leave the ministry, they lose all these virtues. What if Christ has called them into a new area of service? Do you really have to be a pastor to experience passion, and, if you are not, which most of us aren't, can you successfully experience these virtues? It almost seems that unless there is a pastor who can dial the red phone to Christ, we just don't have a prayer. Just random thoughts about the post and the message. I hope this conference can be a time of rest and rejuvenation for the many pastors who are in attendance.
