Have you noticed how A & E has no problem letting you know what it believes about Phil Robertson? Ditto for every song writer and every film maker when it comes to expressing their worldviews. I am seeing this trend more and more.
The Cutting Room Floor
When it comes to preaching, my weekly challenge is not having enough to share, it is having TOO MUCH to share. Take this past Sunday. I preached on The Warning That Sobers Us from Romans 12:11-14. One would think that breaking down five verses would be the proverbial cakewalk. Actually, it was more like preparing a seven-course meal. Here are the sources I consulted:
Aiding & Abetting The Enemy
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes." - Ephesians 6:10-11 ESV
Why You Must Stand In Awe . . .
Don't Ask The Fish
If you want to know what water is like, don't ask the fish!
This proverb, attributed to the Chinese, resonates with me. Immersed in its environment, the fish needs to get outside of the fish bowl to see the bigger picture.
Birds In The Hair
"You cannot prevent the birds from flying in the air over your head, but you can certainly prevent them from building a nest in your hair." - Martin Luther
