inadequate

Ever fell like you are in way over your head? I have to admit that is the way i feel right about now. I was asked awhile back to preach chapel at St. Louis Christian College... my alma mater (i think that is the first time i've ever actually used that word) And I am really feeling the stress of it. See, I'm not some super leader, mega church pastor that is asked to speak lots of places. I am at a small church in southern Illinois. I'm not a hip church planter, I'm not cool and creative. I'm not the guy that thousands of people clamor to read my next blog. I'm not the guy that those students are gonna want to intern under. So, since I write this blog mostly for myself, I need to fight off the temptation of thinking it's about me, because it's not. For the next few days, I'm gonna just hang out in I Cor. 2:1-5 and let that be my prayer for my message on Tuesday at SLCC.
"And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you execpt Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
