Check this at the door...

Someone has suggested that ego, if it was an acronym, would stand for "Edges God Out."

I like that functional definition.

Great Bible Teachers know that this ministry is not about you. God got along just fine before you were created, He gets along fine in spite of you, and He'll do just dandy when you're history. He is I AM, and you and I are i am not.

So check your ego at the door on the way into your teaching opportunities...and don't pick it up again when you leave.
