While living and working in Mississippi for nearly a decade (1978-1986), I happened across some wisdom which has defined my philosophy of life and ministry ever since. Three brief bullet points, hand-printed on faded construction paper, tacked to a crumbling bulletin board, in a small school hard up against Sellers Creek, in the “quarters” of Mendenhall.
- Speak to basic human need.
- Use terms that people understand.
- Focus sharply on Jesus Christ.
A succinct list of resolutions for this new year.
