On Jan 17th I take my oral exams for the North Texas Presbytery, which is the regional court of the Presbyterian Church in America that examines, licenses and ordains men to ministry in the denomination. One thing in which I know I need to become more proficient is the art of speaking in concise and clear ways - not only for the exam, but it seems to be a paramount skill for a pastor generally.
On this account, this blog will be devoted to developing this art of communicating clearly and concisely on some of the subject matter that will be covered in the upcoming Oral Exam. In this way I hope the subsequent Q & A sessions here will prove perhaps helpful for readers and passers by who might benefit or enjoy reflecting on what I hope will be terse reflection on these topics of interest.
