Starting Over
Thanks to the great advise of my brother Barry for telling me not to sweat what to do with my site and just do it.
Had an amazing breath of fresh air today (Sunday). We visited the church where Barry and family attend and heard the best preaching that I have heard in YEARS! This guy doesn't download his sermons off the net (or subscribe to a service, sorry to spoil it many of you). I learned more in 30 minutes than I have learned in the combined last two years, with the exception of a couple of great events that I have attended (Promise Keepers and I Still Do). The guy never quoted Bob Russell! It was refreshing. He had a really unusual style of preaching, it was expository! The preacher was finishing the last of Ephesians, something that had taken him a year and a half to complete. Can't wait until next week.
I remember many a year ago when I was in Bible college. I had the blessing of attending two great colleges and they only taught the expository style of preaching. Whatever happened to that? It seems that the preachers of today boldly inform their congregations that they are going to "borrow" the subject matter from the latest great Christian author. Prayer of Jabez, When God Builds a Church, The Purpose Driven Life, (and even the table of contents from a hymnal). Where is the preaching of the Word of God?
