Steve Brown
I come to NRB each year with mixed feelings. Some things border the bizarre, others are completely there. However, there are also moments full of ethos and deep theological impact.
Tonight Steve Brown gave the keynote address and he spoke from Luke 19. Citing the example of Jesus’ words over Jerusalem, he encouraged us as communicators to season our voices of judgment or condemnation with compassion. He said that a prophetic word unaccompanied by tears is merely self-righteousness. A good word for those of us who feel committed to words of truth to the world around us.
From Luke 19
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
