I can’t really understand what he is trying to say. He obviously does not believe in repentance, but on the other hand he criticizes his fellow fundamentalists for not living a life of repentance… “Bless gawd, now the same crowd…everybody is running around with one another.” He needs to get out of the pulpit, get a real job and let God teach him something before he tries to teach others what he himself has no idea what he is talking about.

There are two books on the subject of the Prodigal Son which I would recommend. Both are by Jeff Lucas, an Englishman who now pastors a church somewhere is the US (N. Carolina?) One is called “Sweet and Sour Pork” and the other is “Will Your Prodigal Come Home?”. I have heard Jeff speak. He is a very Lively but thought-provoking speaker and his distinctive voice comes through in his writing as well. The best recommendation I can give for Jeff Lucas is that the Fundamentalists would probably hate his guts!!

I agree that his motives were certainly not completely pure in his return! He was HUNGRY! But I’m sure true repentance and sorrow for his foolish choices came in response to the glorious grace the Father showed in forgiving and accepting him. God isn’t the older brother, standing back with a bad attitude and begrudging everything that’s given to the prodigal. Nope, God’s throwing the party and rejoicing! Knowing how He rejoices over me makes me never, ever want to disappoint Him again. Romans 2:4 says, “Godâ€™s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.” His KINDNESS, not his cruelty.

“The prodigal son is not about salvation” I think God can speak to different people in different ways through it. To me, the Prodigal son is about a SON, someone is part of God’s Family ie a Christian who goes his own way and ****s up his life. When he returns to his Father (God) the Father welcomes him home. For me that interpretation has a special resonnance for me because I was the Prodigal for many years. Note also that it wasn’t remorse that prompted him to return, but a rumbling hungry stomach… I think the remorse and repentance came later. Whatever his motivation he went Home, the Father welcomed him with open arms. And then there is the reaction of the Older Brother, who was also a Son…. sorry for rambling.

I have to ask. You don’t like alliterative sermons or coming up with one would require too much study?

These are the guys who really give Texans a bad name. And who are driving Texans like me out of Texas.

Well, isn’t he just a big, perfectly hair-sprayed teddy bear?
