Emphasis Preaching Journal

Every spring, people go walking through the woods looking for mushrooms, and every spring someone dies because they mistakenly pick and eat poisonous mushrooms. One day, a man named Ken brought home a bunch of mushrooms that his wife had never seen before.

They risked their lives on the testimony of a book writer. The people Paul is talking about are risking far more on far less authority.
