"For the word of God is living and active." Hebrews 4:12
My pastor called himself a paperboy yesterday. This was something I have never heard a pastor say, but I thought it was a wonderful analogy. He said he is like a paperboy because he is throwing out God's word to other people. My pastor didn't write the Bible just like the paperboy didn't write the newspaper.
People are so quick to give pastors grief when there is something in God's word that makes them uncomfortable. Our pastors did not make the rules! Would we run out and berate our paperboy when the newspaper headlines made us uncomfortable? I don't think so... If you did your neighbors are going to call the police.
Here's another thing to think about today... If you are a Christian, you should be a paperboy or papergirl yourself. Pastors should not be the only ones delivering God's word to the world. So hop on your bicycle and loosen up that arm a bit before you start throwing those papers.
