I’m preaching at our church tomorrow. My name is even temporarily posted on the internet.
This will bring to a screeching halt seven years of freedom from wearing a colorful rope around my neck. It hasn’t always been so. There was a time in my life when I wore one six days a week.
Haha! At least it isn’t a hangman’s noose…unless you plan on preaching heresy. You should have Kelli take a picture of you to remember this event, with a sad face of course.
That’s an intriguing sermon title! I hope your message is well received!
Hope it went well, Todd. John 2:28 would be a pretty amazing verse indeed. Makes me wonder about 26 and 27 also. ;)
Oh, delete! I’m the idiot who can’t read. Time for sleepies, evidently.
Bill – the verse that the sermon title refers to is 1 John 3:2, specifically the words, “we shall be like him.”
That’s how they do things down in Texas, huh? What would happen if you showed up in a polo shirt?
They would have let me preach, but some people would have taken it as a sign of disrespect. An important part of this is how it is currently done. Since the pastor (exactly my age) always preaches in a suit and tie, it would have made a statement if I had done something different. If in Israel I had preached with a suit a tie, it would have made a different statement. Since it’s probably one or the other, I would prefer that they hear the statements that are being made from the Word of God rather than my dress.
