The Church we are attending here is in between Pastors so we are having different men from without and within preach each Sunday. This week we had an older Preacher from Oklahoma. He began his Sermon by stating that in seminary he was taught how to "Preach people the Bible". He paused, then continued... "Today I am going to preach the Bible to people".
See the difference?
So often today pastors and church staffs focus on moving people through the doors and not the proclaiming of the Gospel resulting in shallow topical Sunday morning series like (and I kid you not) "Desperate Household's" and "Summer Blockbusters: Come see what this Summer's hottest movies can teach you".
As if Jesus needed a boost from Jack Sparrow and Bruce Willis !!!
*more insanity in the world of "topical" churched....

it's important to note that Sting, the bassist and creative force behind the band is an avid follower of the work of Aleister
Crowley ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley ) But that's no reason to keep a student of the occults band out
of you're teaching series now is it ?

What if a church titled a new series after an morally bankrupt pop song? Too late, it's already here...

What depths will the Church go to to make people like our Savior... It's looking like a limbo contest!
