Humility in Theology and Preaching
"Too many of us do not approach God, theology, or preaching with the humility that is necessary, and that was demonstated to us in the life of Jesus Christ (Phil. 2:5-11). We instead push for perfectionism, and believe with a lack of humility that we have the correct answer for everything. And with a lack of humility we believe that only if we, were given the chance to preach, we would change this church around. Humility is something that is often lacking in ministry, and we are all vulnerable to it."
This is an excerpt from a post by Rhett Smith, who is at Bel Air Presbyterian Church in sunny California. I thought his quotes from Karl Barth were interesting. Makes me want to curl up with a nicely worn version of Dogamatics.
