Preparing for the Ministry - Section 2 - Robert G Morton - 1975

Robert G Morton

It takes years of preparation to be able to give good sermonettes. It is only by preparing constantly with study, prayer and meditation along with keeping in close contact with the congregation and their needs that we will be successful with our sermonettes. Most important of all is our contact with God — a stream can rise no higher than its source and neither can we. The way we live will affect the credibility of our message no matter how well we may prepare. Ralph Waldo Emerson summarized it by saying: "what you are speaks so loud I can't hear what you're saying!" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
