Tying Some Ideas Together

[Ed Hurst]

You've touched on something that worries me just a little, in the sense of telling me to be careful. In times past, in some types of audiences, I've seen my public speaking make a huge impact. At the time, I was still thinking that was how it was supposed to work. As I look back on it from this distance, it was not such a good thing. I didn't notice then, but they seized on the something I said in overly simplistic thinking. The whole thing dragged me off in the wrong direction with them and caused lots of trouble.

But I cannot avoid the utter necessity of teaching what I hear from God. When the time comes and I have to stand in front of them again, it won't be the same.
