One sample story: (true event in my own life - Ken)
It was a Sunday morning and our family was getting ready for church. In a hurry I hopped into our van with the key in hand. What? No ignition! To my surprise there was only a hole where the ignition should have been and wires were hanging out of the hole. Someone had tried to steal our vehicle! Anger surged up in me.
I quickly thought of my options. Being a farm boy, I decided to hot wire my own van. I had never tried this before but I fiddled with the wires. The wipers came on, then the horn let out a blast. To my relief, the van finally started. We made it to church on time.
Ironically, I was preaching that Sunday and my sermon was on forgiveness. The half hour drive gave me time to confess my anger to God and forgive some nameless person who had upset my Sunday morning and would cost me a repair bill.
I
have noticed that no matter what area I am serving God in, I face a test of my
character and faith in that very thing. I believe it’s because God wants me to
be authentic when I preach, teach or disciple others.
