Quote

I have some friends whose sermons are extremely practical - so practical that I can put them right to use. I'm trying to learn how to do that better but I don't think my approach or style really has changed in these 30 years. Whether that's good or bad I don't know, but I don't think it has.

After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it's assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection , where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace.
