Craziest invitation........

[16KJV11]

When JS candidated, he preached a sermon about how in heaven we would taste the Word of God.  Our senses would be limitless.  I have no idea how biblically correct it was (remember...I went to HAC...I don't know much about the Bible)...but it was pretty off the wall.

from Ps 34:8  O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

םעט ta‘am

taste; perceive

Heaven forbid that a song be allowed to have symbolism.

I guess he let us know right away that he was a little "off".

But you want to believe in people.  You want to have trust and trust those in leadership, that they have done their due diligence and in that, a little slack here, a little slack there, an abundance of love to cover a multitude of sins.  May we teach the next generation the dangers.

I don't think it would have mattered what JS preached that day.  The people were going to vote him in regardless.  I voted for him.  I looked at him like an extension of Bro. Hyles.  I never actually prayed about it.  (Shame on me.)

Tides, what did you think of that sermon?  I didn't really know WHAT to think, but I assumed he was smarter and wiser than me, so he must be right.  Maybe he was.  I just remember the sermon because I had never heard that before.

It was an interesting take but no more.  We do not have the capacity to really understand what life in heaven will be like so I don't entertain it much more than what we do know.  I know I will not be bored because I find God absolutely astonishing by just taking time to observe the brilliance of His creation.

FYI: I did not vote for JS.  I abstained from voting.  I told him that to his face.  I did give him the benefit of the doubt. 

For  me FBC has never been about a man.  It has always been about the people who I dearly love.

just my 2 cents. I always like to look for books that I can use to help with the sermon material. I looked at some of Jack Schaap's books and was bewildered at the fact that I could use next to none of them b/c of the license he took in his writings. A lot of philosophy not backed up with Scripture.
