spiritual heroes

Don’t let anyone make out YOUR list

of spiritual heroes. Not your college, not your denomination, not your camp/convention. Think for yourself. Think about what they have said. Think about what they have not said (did they preach/teach the “whole counsel of God”?) Be Berean (Act 17.10-11). Some men are not worthy being in YOUR hero list. Finally – did their life match their proclamations? A paper (printed or from which a sermon is made) is easy to write – daily discipline decade by decade is harder to maintain.
