Lessons from Jeremiah

Claude Mariottini has written an illuminating post on Jeremiah's complaint in Jer. 20:17. Jeremiah's life and ministry, as Dr. Mariottini points out, can help ministers today:

In the end, there is one thing we learn from Jeremiah’s experience with God: notwithstanding the fact that divine call may bring rejection and loneliness, the call must create a stubborn refusal to abandon God, even when this refusal to give up on God may be the source of our complaint.

This one's a keeper. Claude, a professor of Old Testament, has also written good articles on the Exodus and Qumran.
