PRIDE AND PREACHING DON’T MIX
A young preacher went to preach his first sermon. He’d done so much work on this masterpiece that he was full of his own importance. He entered the pulpit with tremendous confidence, but once up there, he blanked out and couldn’t think of a thing. Finally he came down from the pulpit utterly humiliated. As he slumped down the steps, an old preacher said to him, “If you’d gone up the way you came down, you’d have come down the way you went up.” Hybels, Briscoe & Robinson, Mastering Contemporary Preaching, pg. 149
