However, I need to ask myself why? Possibly it's because I want Christianity to look good on camera. Now if that's because I want more people to have the chance to hear about Jesus rather than just dismissing it out of hand because we look like a bunch of lunatics, then it's probably an okay motive. But mixed in there is my desire to have my side looking good. To not be scorned. To be seen as intelligent and wise. To not be ashamed. That's probably a pretty natural desire but it's not what the Bible lays out as a typical response to the gospel and it's servants. So it may be that God will provide a "spokesman" for evangelical Christianity that has those particular gifts which are useful on Q & A and which "kick butt" in the secular arena. Or, he may have a servant with a totally different set of gifts in mind. Perhaps someone who is lousy on Q & A but who's quiet ability to mentor and encourage the pastors in his care enables them to keep on serving when they would have given up. Or who's oversight of boring practicalities and efficiencies enables the church to spend more money on sharing the gospel. Or whatever.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323321295593693009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-67803372956919494852013-05-28T10:31:04.805+10:002013-05-28T10:31:04.805+10:00Sadly, neither of them are candidates!Sadly, neither of them are candidates!Anthony Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277745466192451883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-74931165070202988762013-05-28T08:29:31.436+10:002013-05-28T08:29:31.436+10:00As does Peter Jensen.As does Peter Jensen.MLmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255584004025282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-9170006237861698712013-05-28T08:27:02.314+10:002013-05-28T08:27:02.314+10:00John Dickson does pretty well on Q & AJohn Dickson does pretty well on Q & AMLmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255584004025282834noreply@blogger.com
