y pastor has gone and done it now. This last Sunday was simply a disaster. I just don’t know what I’m going to do with him. You know, there are some things you can over look, and then there are those breaches which are inexcusable. The only thing worse than one such occurrence is two; in the same day.
The Comforting/Terrifying Judgment of God
The first instance was with the morning message. This has been building for weeks, as this is the twelfth or so in a series from the book of Revelation, but this Sunday’s message really made it clear what Brother Pastor was up to. He is clearly preaching the book of Revelation as if it had as much relevance to the people who first read it as it has to us today. Who ever heard of such a thing?
God’s Grace Doing the Impossible
Later, with the evening service Pastor does the other thing that just went all through me. Who ever heard of someone finding Jesus in the Old Testament? What’s more than that, who ever heard of someone being told to flee to Jesus for salvation from an Old Testament text? Well, that’s exactly what he did. Heck, everybody knows those folks in the Old Testament were saved by doin’ good and sacrificing all of those animals.
You can go and read the notes and listen to the audio, but I’ll just warn you in advance strange things might happen. Before you do, have your wife hide your Left Behind series in a safe place, and have your calendar handy. You know, the one with the big red check mark on the square when you walked the aisle and prayed the prayer, so you’ll remember what you did, and not do something foolish like pray for mercy and grace.
