1 Peter 3:10
Meticulous Gathering – Deliberate Witness
Nate and I were talking about notes this morning. One of his degrees is in Journalism.
He said that he first became meticulous about taking notes when one of the Generals in the military told him about his notes, his “tickler” file . . . Which served him well when making speeches and being called upon to inform, reinforce, encourage or order the troops.
I noticed a difference before that . . . Our first church . . . When one of our parishioners said to him, “Oh, you are such a young preacher, I was really wondering if you should have brouched that subject.” I noticed him reading more (I don’t know how he could read more) . . . The Bible and everything else, making notes, saving file cabinets of Bible references, quotes and resources.
Now, I don’t know which one of us make more notes . . . We both love studying God’s Word and taking notes.
We were talking in Sunday School about intelligence, knowledge and wisdom . . . And being meticulous about knowing the difference . . . and bringing them together . . . So that in all our all our personal and social relationships we will be watchful of the tongue.
1 Peter 3:10
