Marrow Man
Drunk with Powder
My mom-in-law just sent me her church's newsletter (I'll let you guess the denomination ). I don't know why; she's never done so before. Well, after meandering through a section by the pastor where he extols the wonders of Lent (this is the same guy that while my wife and I visited one Lord's Day to appease the in-laws, he pulled out a rosary during the "children's sermon" and talked about how it helped his Roman Catholic friend to pray), I ran across this interesting comment as he posted his sermon texts and themes for the month of March.
"Presbyterians don't talk about sin too much"? He need to talk to my congregation. I think they'd like me to stop talking about it so much! Anyone care to tackle the orthodoxy of this statement: "What’s amazing is that God does know what is on our hearts and God still chose to send Jesus to die for our sins, whether
we talk about them or not."
I did receive a word of encouragement from one lady in our congregation (she's a former Baptist) after my sermon at Presbytery -- she told me, "You preached like a Baptist!" She meant it as a complement!
March 15th
Sermon Title: “He Himself Knew”
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-20 & John 2:13-25
Thoughts for Reflection: Presbyterians don’t talk about sin
too much. We treat the relationship between a person and
their maker as something intensely private and personal.
What’s amazing is that God does know what is on our hearts
and God still chose to send Jesus to die for our sins, whether
we talk about them or not.
