Quiet Hints, Chapter 19–"Foolishness”

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, February 9

Notes taken from Quiet Hints to Growing Preachers by Charles E. Jefferson, Chapter 19, “Foolishness."Beginning a speech with an apology is a piece of nonsense unprovoked and inexcusable, but if you wish to break a man of that habit he must be caught young. Why squander time in announcing what will become perfectly clear before one si...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, February 8

Recently I was asked to submit a list of my top ten books of the last decade. I forget how the request was worded, but the upshot was that they wanted me to give them a list of ten influential Christian nonfiction books of the last decade. Well, you can go a lot of different ways with a list like that. Do you want the “best” books ...

Quiet Hints, Chapter 18–"Pettiness”

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, February 8

Notes taken from Quiet Hints to Growing Preachers by Charles E. Jefferson, Chapter 17,"Pettiness.” Certain vices only mar, others lacerate and kill. Not one of them kills more surely than a petty disposition. The Christian religion is nothing if not large.A sermon is the life-blood of a an baptized into the spirit of the Lord, and every...

Quiet Hints, Chapter 17–"Discontent”

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, February 7

Notes taken from Quiet Hints to Growing Preachers by Charles E. Jefferson, Chapter 17, “Discontent."Discontent may be said to be one of the prevailing sins of the ministerial world. How prevalent it is the public does not fully know, for ministers who are discontented do not shout their dissatisfaction from the house-top.They write it ...

Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl Ad

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, February 6

By now virtually the whole world knows that Tim Tebow and his mother will be featured in a 30-second ad appearing during the first quarter of the Super Bowl. The ad itself is sponsored by Focus on the Family and cost around $3 million. What message could be so important that supporters quickly raised the three million dollars? And why has the ad sp...

Quiet Hints, Chapter 16–"Vanity”

Quiet Hints, Chapter 14–"Dishonesty”

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 4

Notes taken from Quiet Hints to Growing Preachers by Charles E. Jefferson, Chapter 14, “Dishonesty.""If a man is crotchety he can be tolerated; if he is prejudiced or ignorant he can be borne with ; he may be lacking in a score of qualities which men count desirable and still be a useful and an honored man. But who can endure a mi...
