It’s essential to have good references

Morning: Psalm 50; Genesis 16:15-17:14; Hebrews 10:1-10
Evening: Psalm 118; John 5:30-47

Once, I was coordinator of spiritual care in a hospital. A community pastor came in - as many did - seeking hospital ID and parking privileges. This would give him free access to patient areas. I asked him, “To whom are you accountable?” He said, “To myself and God.” That wasn’t enough accountability to give him access to vulnerable patients. He needed other human witnesses to vouch for his trustworthiness. Even Jesus said, “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.” When you’re sharing important news, to be believable, it’s essential to have good references.
