Humility or Arrogance?
We live in a world where the definition of these two words (humility and arrogance) are flipped. When a pastor stands in front of a group of people and speaks about himself, his own thoughts, and his own experiences he is said to be a humble man. When a pastor stands in front of a group of people and speaks about God, God's thought, God's truths, God's commands and doesn't mention himself he is said to be arrogant. The preacher speaks the truth of God plainly and has no business messing with the message. He is but a messenger. He speaks the words of his Master. He should not place himself in his Master's place. Doug Wilson provides us with a short, but very true explanation here.
