Again, you can never be a trumpeter of the gospel of the resurrection until your eyes are opened to see and confess that you're a minister of the Word in the valley of death. How many pastors, because of spiritual pride and for the sake of reputation, completely ignore the true spiritual condition of their own church. If they were honest with God and with themselves, they'd have to confess with the prophet that they also have a dry-bone congregation. Then the Lord would give them a burden which would break their hearts and cause them to fast and pray and cry unto God.
