Chpt 15: Centralized Control

"The attitude of 'listen to me because this is the most important thing you will here today' may create more centralized control, but it's not good for the good news." The only person that should have control is Jesus. I honestly admit that as I look toward pastoral ministry handing control over to others, especially in teaching is scary. It terrifies me yet I understand I am one person, on thought process... what gives me the right to assert my piece of hte pie is more important than other's peices? I dare say nothing. I am on voice in a group and others may have great perspectives to share.

I enjoyed the mention of distractions and how they are welcome in Solomon's Porch... fine examples of how God can use outside sources to prompt awareness of his will.
