Here is a job I found posted on a website of a revivalist (still not even sure what the heck that is) that is coming to Sarnia. I’m glad that Jesus didn’t have those kind of expectations when choosing his disciples. I’m glad I’m just going into church planting, I don’t think I’m cut out to be a national youth evangelist team member.

I wonder how many people read, “Lukewarm, superficial, arrogant need not apply” and thought oh shoot, I guess I’ll have to find something else.
Hey Nathan… I don’t know if we officially met or not (when Paul presented his paper at the pastor’s fellowship), but I know you from there and from his blog. Anyway, I was just looking around here and things look really cool. I thought you might appreciate some of the conversation over here. It’s a ‘diverse conversation’ to say the least, but a productive one, I hope.
Anyway, have a great day!
I kept seeing the word hungry. I am all the time. Heck Im hungry right now, hmmmm pancakes….. hmmmm. I had a Pogo before bed last night; it didnt really sit well with my stomach this morning. Do you ever get hungry when your stomach doesnt feel too good? I cant until lunch, I made a really good sandwich.
Anyone who thinks that he meets all the criteria for this job shouldn’t dare think about being in the ministry because they’re deluded.
I feel guilty after reading this.
