The greatest test

"Perhaps the greatest test of a preacher is not preaching, but not preaching, if you see what I mean? Let me put it this way. Perhaps the greatest test of you as a preacher has very little to do with your observed ministry in the pulpit, but a lot to do with what is unseen. What if your listeners could watch you behind closed doors? What if they saw how you treat your spouse and your children? What if they could see the “real you” when no eyes are looking?"
