A Friday Nugget from the NQ&A File

After a long two-week silence, I'm back! The blogging break was intentional. Really. I dedicated a significant amount of time during these two weeks to work on some projects that really needed my attention. I have also been doing a mammoth amount of study and research for upcoming sermon series.

Anyway, here's a Friday nugget from my Notes, Quotes, and Anecdotes file...

"God doesn't want a place in your life. He demands and deserves preeminence. God's throne is not a duplex."

Read it again...let it sink in...

Coram Deo

Fridays are for NQ&A!

Early in my ministry I was challenged to maintain a file of Notes, Quotes, and Anecdotes. This advice has proven to be invaluable in my sermon preparation. After all, preaching is really gathering all the ingredients to "make your own chili". My NQ&A file has changed through the years. What started out as an actual manila file folder stuffed in an actual metal filing cabinet has become a simple NQ&A file on my computer. (Look for a future post on how Bill Gates and Al Gore have revolutionized my ministry) Anyway, I plan to dedicate my Friday posts to sharing some of my NQ&As. I hope you enjoy!

Today's gem: "Nothing is politically correct that is morally wrong."

Discuss... Talk amongst yourselves...
