I preached “The Love of God: Can I Believe it?”; last night. Touched on personality disorders, the providence of God, the love of God specifically, and putting on the mind of Christ to do His will. It preached well. I haven’t adjusted to the change from preaching familiar sermons over and over to writing one out and then preaching it. I fell back into a habit from my younger days as a pastor, Amen and can you say amen to give me time to organize my words as I am preaching. A terrible habit for a preacher. Well God still blessed us with a salvation response and two prophecies from the church at the close of the service. It was a great night.
I made some calls confirming the cancellations of my scheduled revivals. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the calls and the conversations that went with it. I am kicking around an idea in my head to start a pastor’s email list just to have some pastoral contact. I think every pastor could write the book called “The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner”. Overseas, I understood it, here I am not sure I want to understand it.

Saying Amen is like a question. Are you listening out there or have you gone to sleep?
