Humility Intro 2

It has now been several years ago that I attended a conference on business by, of all people, theologian Dr. Wayne Grudem. I could have left after 5-minutes and gotten my monies worth.

Dr. Grudem has a gift for taking complex, detailed subjects and cutting to the simple core of the issue. He did it for me that Saturday morning.

Before Dr. Grudem spoke, he was introduced by his friend, graduate assistant and co-author Jeff Purswell. Jeff has known Dr. Grudem a long time and very well, so that he was able to provide us great depth of Dr. Grudem's character, his compassion, his gentleness and his love of the savior. Jeff spent a significant amount of time telling us about the praiseworthy attributes of his friend and our speaker.

Finally, Dr. Grudem rose to speak. How would he start after such a lavish introduction? Very humbly and simply Dr. Grudem said, "Jeff, that was such a kind introduction, but since I did create my self, I cannot take credit."

"since I did not create myself, I cannot take credit". Ten words. The essence of Biblical humility.

Thank you Dr. Grudem.
