Introduction	Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown When I tell you, “You oughta be ashamed or yourself” I’ve gotta set my knees on the ground O how the mighty have fallen O how the reckless are crawling now O how the mighty have fallen Such a long way down Thank you, please don’t swing your shovel at my head, friend No, I truly won’t appreciate that sound When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin I hope you know the fate of the proud O how the mighty have fallen… - The Choir (Hindalong, Byrd) I have been a pastor since 1985. It has been quite a journey. During these more than 20 years I have witnessed healthy church communities, churches that were closed societies and even ministries that misused Scripture to abuse and manipulate people. Each experience has helped shaped the person I am today and make me more and more convinced that every teaching, every experience and every urging must be filtered through the Standard which is God's Word.
