A Link that Humbles and I appreciate

I have Known John Armstrong for a long time. Since Tim Campbell came to Geneva in the late 90s.

We have disagreed but I find him interesting, challenging and inspiring. We have interests which we will jointly work on today. I have expectation that good will come from it.

Our collaboration has led to an appreciation for one another that I might have thought was not probable. He is a learned PhD with centuries of expertise I'll never comprehend. I'm a Lover of God with deep passion in 30 years of knowing Jesus.

So, when he linked to my little treatise on Pastors and Pornography I was humbled. And he said such nice things about me. Thanks John.

What I haven't told anyone except my Brother Steve about the composition of all that was that it was written in less than 10 minutes. I sat down at the keyboard and just allowed the Spirit of God to speak thru me. Because of my love for the Pastors I met with on Sunday Night and my love for the man or woman who sells out for Jesus in service and my hatred for the Devil it just rolled off the end of my fingers. It had been welling up in me all day. I guess 1 Corinthians 13 is true. My love for these men drove me by the Spirit of God.

When I read what I wrote, I figured out that what was said was better than what I'm able to say under my own power.

That's how the Prophetic sometimes manifests in my life and ministry if I write, preach or teach. I know it's God because it's so much better than I ever could have done it myself in my own strength or ability.

I have a book I have written on Evangelism. In re-reading the manuscript I recognize Gene and The Holy Spirit in the writing. I don't like the Gene stuff much. I'm hoping Holy Spirit will help me make the rest HIM. Till then, I'm sitting on it.
