About a month ago, I was struck again with the critical importance of 2 Corinthians 4:18 and I made printed it off to put above the toilet (a strategic place for half of humankind!).
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
I have considered that verse very carefully since that time. Tonight I was putting together a disk of some sermons for a friend who is getting an mp3 player and I came across this message that I preached on this passage (starting with v. 16) at IBEX three years ago. I’m not a preacher, nor one who likes to promote my own stuff, but since I don’t seem to have much to share on this blog of late, I’ve decided to share this here. If you were at IBEX in the Spring of 2004 (a grand semester indeed!), you’ve already heard it. Katie was born two days later.
I think it has now been six months since I have done any teaching or preaching, not counting a student assignment. The church that we have been attending has indicated interest in me teaching an adult Sunday class, but there hasn’t been any movement yet.
If you do teach that Sunday class at church I may consider temporarily relocating.
I know I wasn’t cool enough to be a part of Spring 04, but thanks for sharing your chapel sermon with the rest of us. =)
Thanks too for your updates about Josh… I’m glad the Lord has kept him with us and will be praying about his continued health.
And… I may have to come be Cynthia’s roommate should she relocate. =)
Oh and thanks for the great money post also… Great reminders for us who are coming off the Top Ramen high.
(Sorry I’m too lazy to post all these comments on the appropriate posts…. In any case, I’m thankful for your blog and thanks for all the great variety.) =)
okay so jodi and i are on the phone this very minute conspiring to be there at you first sunday school class. be warned.
