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.

More than 1500 people flocked the streets of Elizabethtown for the passion play last evening. Many of them knew the shepherd whom they followed through the streets to the place of his crucifixion. A high point for me was meeting a number of persons whom I have learned to know through the Naaman Center. These friends on their journey out of addictions found themselves swept tonight toward the Man on the middle cross.
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.
