Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell you, “You oughta be ashamed or yourself”
I’ve gotta set my knees on the ground
O how the mighty have fallen
O how the reckless are crawling now
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
Thank you, please don’t swing your shovel at my head, friend
No, I truly won’t appreciate that sound
When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin
I hope you know the fate of the proud
O how the mighty have fallen…
- The Choir (Hindalong, Byrd)
I have been a pastor since 1985. It has been quite a journey. During these more than 20 years I have witnessed healthy church communities, churches that were closed societies and even ministries that misused Scripture to abuse and manipulate people.
Each experience has helped shaped the person I am today and make me more and more convinced that every teaching, every experience and every urging must be filtered through the Standard which is God's Word.
