Pray for Missonaries Deep Thinking
Today T. was going over some of his stored things. He found some old sermon notes and remarked, "I used to preach better sermons than I do now." Can this be confirmation of Dad's fears? I've heard him say, "I think missionaries often fail to go on in the truth to deeper things," implying that the pressure of the work & the constant contact with primitive minds stultifies deep thinking in the Scriptures. God deliver me!
