Philologous...Sermonator?
5:23 PM
As I mentioned in a previous post, which I inadvertantly deleted later, blogging was a little lighter than usual last week due to preparation for a sermon I was asked to deliver. Before that post and it’s attendant comments were deleted, several people expressed an interest in it. It’s posted here.
CAVEAT: I am not a pastor. In fact, many people have difficulty “placing” me. Let me help you: Some years ago I was talking to an acquaintance about my research interests and some other matters. After a few minutes he said, “So, if all you Christians were like an army, you work in the intelligence branch.” I don’t know about all that, but I can’t come up with a better word-picture. Although…I was thinking more like strategic studies than military intelligence: I’m more egg-head than spook. The Oracle could judge how apt these word pictures are.
