$#!7 My IFB Pastor Says....

[beensetfree]

How incredible that a Pastor can go through Genesis 3 and not mention Jesus by name the entire sermon. He can joke with a visual gag (don't touch the fire, it burns) about not admiring sin from afar and allude to all the "looking" Eve must have done before eating the fruit. (Don't we now sin in THOUGHT, word and deed?) This is how Christians deal with sin, we try to avoid it because God wants us to for our good? Easy peasy, people.

And then go on a meaningless side trail about the serpent not being the only animal to talk in the bible and bringing in Balaam's story. Isn't it ironic though that one of those animals the devil was speaking through and the other animal speaking is in a TOTALLY different context. But who needs context when you're flying by the seat of your pants wondering where this sermon is going to land. Let's just combine these texts with the insane fervor of Frankenstein's Mad Scientist, Amen.

We all know it's all about Jesus anyway, no need to talk about Him and how serious sin actually is and how deep it actually goes. Which in turn would let us see just how AMAZING the Gospel is. Let's not even talk about how Jesus Christ forgave and conquered sin for you. No, just avoid sin Christians... that's the meat of the Christian life. The Gospel is for altar calls.

I mean really, who among us has sinned today?

I go in so hopeful....
