8 Favorite Quotes From The Book “Living Without Worry” (Tim Lane, The Good Book Company)

Happy Monday! Let’s jump start our week with quotes from a book that inevitably help me review or refresh my biblical counseling course I took last July. Basically, this book by Tim Lane, Living Without Worry published by The Good Book Company, is a great help for those who worry (i.e. you and I). So enjoy these quotes and if you like them, would you consider getting a copy of this book here?

“…worry is over-concern that results from “over-loving” something—that is, loving it more than God. Concern results when you love something in a proper way and not more than God. Indifference is a lack of love. It is the opposite of worry, not the antidote or cure for worry.”

7 Important Lessons I Learned From My Pastor on Preaching

There are many preachers that, we as Calvinist folks, can list down on paper that had an impact on us not just for what the message they delivered but on how they delivered the message. We learn a lot of direct or indirect methods on effective preaching from these giants of the faith.

As for me, it might be a surprise to many that Chuck Swindoll helped me in preaching and preparing sermons. Through his radio program and those free study guides it has gradually equipped and encouraged me to preach.

However, there is someone that we shouldn’t forget to jot down in our list. And he knows us more than these popular our own pastors shouldn’t be forgotten in terms of how they influence us when we preach. He might not be a Chuck Swindoll, John Piper or John Macarthur but he can be a preacher I can fully examine in the pulpit rather than the three. His facial expressions, posture, and some unexpected things that can extract reaction from here are laid bare for us members to see. He might have prepared a well crafted sermon, but those factors can sway on the delivery of the message.
