I was thinking about a sales guy I had many years ago. DOM. He dressed sharp. Knew all the right words to say. Looked good. Could turn heads. Talked the talk. BUT when the rubber met the road he couldn't make it happen. He didn't know what he was talking about. He tried to bluff his way past the customer with swagger, style and charm. Soon it caught up with him and I fired him. Smoke and mirrors only work for a little while. Earn the right to do what you claim to.
This
particularly applies in ministry. I see too many nice looking handsome,
pretty, clever, glib, well dressed, flashy people standing in front of
others and as soon as they try to go "there".. there isn't any there
there. Mile wide, inch deep. I'm done with that. If you don't have
the stuff, don't bother getting up. We need real in today's dying world.
Less splash, more Spirit!!
