Enduring...At Least On Mondays

If you've never heard, or read, Arturo Azurdia, you've missed out. He nails it again here. Besides that, he has one of the best sentences I've read in a long time.

"Nor did he assault my intelligence with bumper-sticker superficialities wrapped in pious colloquialisms."

As Christians, we can be very good at speaking to believer & unbeliever alike with bumper-sticker superficialities wrapped in pious colloquialisms & then we wonder why people don't respond to our words.

Getting back to Art Azurdia, his book Spirit Empowered Preaching is on my "read every year" list. It's a powerful, informative, & convicting book. He also heads up The Spurgeon Fellowship, is an associate professor of pastoral theology at Western Seminary, & is a popular speaker at a variety of churches & conferences. Check out his website.
