The preacher . . . is not a professional man; his ministry is not a profession; it is a divine institution, a divine devotion. E. M. Bounds ✦ ✦ ✦ We are fools for Christ’s sake. But professionals are wise. We are weak. But professionals are strong. Professionals are held in honor. We are in disrepute. We do not try to secure a professional lifestyle, but we are ready to hunger and thirst and be ill-clad and homeless.
