A few of my friends, whom I respect deeply, have been following the writings of Eugene Peterson lately and shared some of his thoughts that have affected them. Here are a few that are tumbling around in my brain these days:
Pastors should never brag about their busyness – it is the disqualifying factor to the role of pastor."
"Busyness is a sign of insecurity or laziness."
"Discipleship is a decision to live by what I know about God, not by what I feel about Him or myself or my neighbors."
