Teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea

Last spring I went to a seminar in London with Jason Royce. The guy speaking was Pete Rollins and we absolutely ate it up. Pete is a church leader at Ikon in Northern Ireland, though he's more like a heavy philosopher than a stereotypical pastor or theologian. Just recently I came across some of this thoughts that I was blessed by. The highlight: "Perhaps I should instead spend my energy attempting to teach (through the aroma of my own yearning) an anguished longing for that vast and endless sea that is the love of God." Now that's a pastoral example I want to live by.
