It isn't so important whether your pastor is some dashing Gregory Peck type or a bit of an old dodderer. The seeds are the same, and that is what matters most. The words are the Lord's; He grows them. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 366.

The apostle Paul says: "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything but only God who makes things grow. 1 Cor.3:6,7 We are all gardeners who need to roll up our sleeves and keep planting and watering. Only God causes the growth in His garden. The Gregory Peck types usually do not want to get their hands dirty.

Dr. Nagel proceeds to cite just that passage...
Man, I'm relieved. I always thought those old doddlers had some kind of advantage on me. Not true. Not at all true.
