Just a bit of a tribute today to skilled, devoted and wise pastors, teachers and writers… Here’s what they seek to accomplish and its wholesome impact upon us… “Besides being wise, the Preacher (or teacher… Heb. “Qoheleth”) also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd. Beware of anything beyond these.” (From Ecclesiastes 12:9–12 ESV) My advice? We should be grateful to God for them, their efforts and God-given skills!
