William,

I somehow can't imagine I would have the same experience contemplating Moses standing before God at the burning bush.  You seem a good deal more enthusiastic about your adequacy for the calling than Moses did.  I sympathize with Moses.

Here is the difference between me and thee.  Nobody will ever ask me to stand at a baptism to be honored for my part - twice. There will be an argument. The Holy Spirit does not testify of Himself and he certainly doesn't testify about Bill Abbott.  The Holy Spirit of God Almighty and Bill Abbott proclaim one thing together: Jesus Christ is God Almighty, the Holy One of Israel, risen from the dead.

I don't keep a brag sheet on the good I do for others. I count it but dung. But I witness and minister to sinners for the sake of Jesus Christ daily.  I do it under compulsion.  He loved us while we were yet sinners.  I can do no other.
