The Making of a Preacher

by Jay O'Toole

Rated: ASR · Book · Spiritual · #2173459

How does one speak truth to others, when he is very aware of his own imperfections?

Matthew Marks is a flawed man. He knows that from his heart. He wishes that it was not so, but it gives him great confidence to proclaim in any venue or one-on-one conversation that he has with another human being, "We need The Savior because we can't save ourselves."

Along the path of life, Matt has learned what it means to battle himself from within and battle detractors from without. Yet, through it all, The Savior has never let him fall out of His Hands nor out of His Care.

Matt is grateful for every day that his Lord, Jesus Christ, has changed some flaw into a tool for helping others.

Let's state it, again. Matthew Marks is a flawed man, who stands daily in need of The Savior. Though flawed in his humanness, his heart was transformed at the moment he received the Gift of Salvation, and his heart is being transformed every day by the sanctifying Grace of God.

His Goal remains the bringing of Honor and Glory to The Lord through the salvation and sanctification of souls.
