Does the Man Match Up to the Material?
Pastor “Smith” (not his real name, obviously) asked me one day, “Bro. Tony do you ever come across missionaries whose material looks great but when you meet them they are not what you expect?” Now you want to talk about a loaded question!
Do you match up to your material? If we are not careful in this day and age of techno advancement where missionaries seem to be better off knowing photoshop than First Peter, people can project themselves in quite a wonderful way. Now I am all for having first class material. I teach it and expect it from the missionaries with our board. Just make sure you match up to your material.
Learn how to communicate your burden. Learn about your field. Love God’s men and the churches they pastor. Dress sharp (sharp and expensive are not the same). Look at your material. Do you match up to your material? Look at your material, does it match up to you? There may be changes that need to be made. Make sure your material reflects you and that you reflect your material.
Hope this one makes sense. If not email me and I will try to elaborate further.
Love you guys,
Bro. Tony
