humble men with important messages

Max Lucado had a simple, but powerful message tonight about the importance of unity among believers in Jesus Christ. (I appreciated the fact that he didn't limit unity to just the Christian Churches and the Churches of Christ.)

There are speakers that I really enjoy listening to, and I think the main reason is because they are simply interested getting across the message -- everything else is secondary.

They don't talk about themselves and they don't talk about their books.

They don't compare themselves with others under the guise of humility.

They have an urgency to their message and they waste little time on fluff.

Sure, a sprinkling of humor helps -- but it doesn't detract from their message.

I listened to two men tonight that fit that bill -- Rick Atchley and Max Lucado.

Marvin Phillips is another.

Humble men with urgent messages speaking passionately from their hearts.
