Sermon Prep
A friend passed this on and it made me laugh:
Seven-year-old Mathew was watching his father David, a pastor, write his sermon for Sunday. "How do you know what to say, Dad?" Matthew asked. David replied, "Well, God tells me what to say and I just write it down." Matthew nodded and then asked, "Then how come you're crossing things out?"

What I'm Listening To: I just bought The Weepies new album Hideaway
. Shannon and I are in my office. She's reading and I'm filing and paying bills. I like this album. Great melodies. Good working, studying, chillin' out music.
Bad Guy Caught With a Mac: This is a great story. A girl's Apple laptop gets stolen but she uses a remote access program to control it and takes a picture of the thief as the doofus sits in front of the stolen computer. "Smile! You're getting your mug shot taken!" Using the picture, the police nab the bad guy. Moral of the story? Don't mess with a high-tech girl's Mac.
New Word Alive's Top 10: The recent New Word Alive conference showed a video top-ten list of books for students. My book Sex is Not the Problem made the list. It's pretty funny. I just wish mine could have made it in the wok.

Haha, that is funny. Althoug, I don't believe in writing your sermon down. I believe we should have 'Fresh Manna', God will touch the mind of the minister as they rise to their feet. You never can tell what God is going to do in each service. A man's gift will make room for him and the Holy Ghost will put in his mind what needs to be said. In each service we should 'Watch the Spirit'.

Have you put any thought to the hymns you want your congregation to learn?

We know a LOT of song's, but we feel for what the Lord would have and don't just play whatever. The Spirit is to lead the service in all areas, usually there is A theme of some kind through the service, God doesnt just scattergun so what we say, sing or anything in service should be in tune with that. There is also testimonies where you can get up and thank God for something He has done, but what I am saying is that we should be sensitive enough to the Spirit that if we are going to do something in the service it isn't just done through the flesh. I don't want to do something just because I think something sounds good. There are MANY good and true things we can get up and say, but that doesnt mean that it is ALWAYS expedient just because it is good or true, but it should be what God wants.

I read this to my seven year old brother, and he burst out in hysterics! It was so cute. I guess little kids think alike. Great post(o:
