…here is a thought. I’ve been listening to my dear friend’s sermons. I encourage, encourage, encourage you to listen to him. But that isn’t the point here. The point here is that I have been listening to just one of his sermons (about pleasing God) for weeks… bit by bit… and over and over. And it is only now, after all of these weeks that I feel like I understand what he has said and that I have absorbed its holiness. Now this may simply be a reflection of my sluggishness and it might not be true of others… BUT… I’m thinking that pastors should just preach the same sermon every week for a month. Then, do the same thing the next month. Maybe if they did that we sheep would actually be able to put those sermons into practice.
