Out of Context: Randall Hasper

"We modern, well-educated, pastoral Dr. Phils may, if not careful, begin to think our answers are more important than God's Word or God's presence. But we must remember that we are servants of Christ in the ministry of healing damaged hearts, not religious answering machines."

-Randall Hasper is pastor of Paseo del Rey Church in Chula Vista, California
