I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.

It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.

As a preacher, my charge is to proclaim the message of the Scriptures. To help the people in my congregation become a people of the book. I love getting to do this.

I have devoted my energies to the study of the scriptures, observing monastic discipline, and singing the daily services in church; study, teaching, and writing have always been my delight.

I write just knowing that I enjoy writing. But if I have to write, it seems like nothing comes. But when I go there for my own pleasure, the Lord might just give me loads of stuff all at once.

I'm not only a Christian, but I'm a pastor of a church.

When I teach, I preach. I thump the Bible. I exhort my students morally. I talk to them about the dedicated life.

I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.

Theological writing is usually done in essays or books, but I hope to show that if we concentrate on sentences, we may well learn something we might otherwise miss.
