Not everything I did or said took place behind the pulpit or in the sanctuary. Not everything I was learning about grace and holiness was coming out of the Bible. I was also being tutored by a woman recovering from a heart attack, by a family struggling in poverty, by young people finding words to express their newfound faith honestly and unpretentiously, or, in the words of our text, by hearing wisdom crying aloud in the street (Proverbs 1:20).
