Your communication will reveal the kind of [person] you really are, because what comes out of your mouth is usually what’s in your heart. If you truly desire to exemplify Christ you will seek to become a good communicator. Everything that Jesus Christ communicated was holy, clear, purposeful and timely.

Stuart Scott
Stuart Scott ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Theologe, Pastor und Hochschullehrer, der unter anderem an der Master’s University und der Bob Jones University lehrte. Er gilt als einflussreicher Vertreter der reformatorischen biblischen Seelsorge und verfasste mit „Der vorbildliche Ehemann“ ein Standardwerk zur konservativen Ehe- und Familienethik. Bibellesern bietet er konkrete Impulse für eine rein schriftbasierte Lebens- und Seelsorgepraxis, während dieser Ansatz wegen seiner Skepsis gegenüber psychologischen Erkenntnissen in der Kritik steht.
