Shrinking in my own strength and wisdom and EXPANDING in the understanding of what God can do in and through the person who lives and moves in faith.

This is Dr. David H. Burkholder at age 62 when he started his ministry of full time personal evangelism. During his years as a businessman David kept a record of those whom he dealt with who were not Christians. Then over the past 28 years he systematically visited all these friends and acquaintances and invited them to accept Jesus.
I am a board certified psychiatrist (shrink).I am also a pastor. My faith,not my professional credentials,defines me. Therefore I say that I am an 'expander' not a 'shrink'.
My sense of the significance of what I can do in my own strength has shrunk over the years. My awareness of what Christ can do in the person yielded to His will has expanded over the years.
