Sermon Correction

For anyone who heard my sermon on Jeremiah 29:1-14 last Sunday, I need to correct an error in the message. I said that the deportation of 597 B.C. described in Jeremiah 29 was the same that took Daniel to Babylon. But that's not accurate. Further study this week led me to realize that Daniel and his vegetarian, fire-enduring cohorts were dragged off to Babylon approximately eight years prior in 605 B.C. Sorry for the mistake.

When I first heard you preach that the deportation took place in 597 BC, I felt strangely uplifted and fired-up in my faith.

Your error - a gargantuan eight years! - has taken my spiritual legs out from under me. Thanks a lot, bud.

Cuttingtruth,

Excellent response! I feared this kind of disillusionment might ensue.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
