Wanted to turn you guys onto a blog that I absolutely love. Pastor Don James is pastor of Bethany Church in Wyckoff, NJ. I've had the opportunity to spend some time around him through my friendship with his son, John James (not to be confused to the former lead singer of Newsboys). Anyway, I love the authenticity of the blog and am really impressed by what they are doing up there in NJ. I've reblogged one of his latest entries below... check it daily at www.pastordonjames.com
Saturday Night Fever (November 10, 2007) - Ok so everyone wonders what someone who has been in minstry for over 30 years feels like on Saturday night before a Sunday service and message. Well, it started about an hour ago…the fever…or the nerves. Yes even after all these years when I think about getting up there tomorrow in front of hundreds of people….uggggh.
It is an awesome assignment (and honor) to bring what you believe is God’s Word to his people. I know there will be many, many people who come tomorrow and desperately need a word from God. They don’t need entertainment, they don’t need my opinions or just another message. They need to hear from God. That’s my assignment….uggggh.
So tomorrow I will step up, open the Bible and my notes and ask God to come and speak through me. God HELP! Apart from You I can’t do this. And that’s the real truth! Just in case you were wondering.
