About

It’s important for a leader to distinguish between methods and principles. Principles are closed-handed and timeless; whereas, methods are open-handed and timely. Timely methods come out of the timeless principle, but sometimes a method then becomes an idol (methodolatry) or the “only way.” And yes, Pastor Mark loves making up new words as you’ll see a few times in this piece.
