Dallas Willard (a Christian author) reminds me that Jesus didn't teach with the intention of imparting information, he taught with the intention of transforming the lives of his hearers. This is something I easily forget as a preacher. My job is not to increase the level of knowledge in a congregation, but to alter their lives for the better.
In other aspects of life too I need to be reminded of the same principle. My aim for each day should not be to get through the day without feeling guilty about the amount of work I have done or not done. My aim should be to transform lives - my own and those around me.
