Pastors, great advice in the photo above.

This quote is in the book I’m reading. John C. Maxwell is a Christian and was a pastor before taking on his current endeavors.

So many examples of Jesus touching the heart before asking for the hand. The adulterous woman who as about to be stoned who was told to go and sin no more comes to mind, as does the woman at the well. there are many others.

When we work to be men in the trenches, fighting the good fight, it would benefit us to take this approach. People won’t follow if we bash them over the head with condemning scripture. They might listen if we show love and care in not only our words, but our actions, as well.

Kindness, grace, love … those are some of the best approaches.

Lets touch the heart before we ask for the hand; and in reality, if we touch the heart, we may not even have to ask.

Make it a great week in the trenches. Be exceptional at being you.

Love,

Yancey
