Some people are just so quotable, and I spend at least
the following week digesting their words. It is like a delicacy of flavors
swirling and mingling together a spicy zing with a tangy sweetness. You close
your eyes and its actually some time before you even allow digestion to begin,
really, because the flavor alone mesmerizes silently, experientially. Practically
speaking, I’m actually talking about Gerhard DuToit, itinerant worldwide lecturer I heard on Sunday.
Pungent
“When God is at work, the enemy is at work. I hope he
never loses your address.”
Salty
“Good dead people are everywhere, but man, they are good
and dead.”
Bitter
“When God’s people lose the spirit of repentance they
lose their power.”
Sweet
“Realize the depth of your ‘inheritance’! Don’t lose the
reality of your riches.”
Sour
“Abram also had a wife, so watch it!”
Smoky
“Your brain should be a concordance, accessing references
of Scripture on any topic you desire.”
Savory
“Are you really processing ‘the new and the living way’
in the way you should be?”
Spicy
“It costs more to hold things back from God, than to give
what He asks.”
Horseradish and Wasabi
“Don’t go back to that which you are so sure of that
justifies you in such a legalistic way.”
Briny
“There are levels of the presence of God, and the degree
to which it comes is in proportion to the degree of our brokenness before Him.”
Refreshing
“When God puts things together, He will turn up in the
midst.”
Rich
“Don’t be distracted by anything but the centrality of
Jesus and His indwelling.”
Tangy
“It is never what we are doing for God, but what God is
doing through His channels.”
Smooth
“If you have favor with God, you will have favor with
people.”
Pastor R. shared a bit about how influential Mr. Du Toit has been in his life and your church. He sounds like an amazing man, and I was blessed and convicted just by digesting these morsels. Thanks for sharing the richness!
