DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE PREACHING


In recent weeks I have been engaging in what I like to call, "Experimental Preaching".  

With all of the distractions of modern day life, the Iphones and Ipods and the...Idon'tknowwhat'sit's, it can take all of a Preacher's massive preaching skills and crowd control talents just to get an audience to pay attention long enough to get through a Bible-based, 3-point, 2 joke, 1 dog story sermon.  It isn't like it used to be when all you had to worry about was church fans and a few tent revival flies.  It's serious now.

So it is too with the modern day Blurch (blog-church).  There is no telling how many things I'm unknowingly competing with right now just to get you to read this Blermon (blog-sermon).  So...

Desperate times, require desperate Bleaching (blog-preaching).  So here goes...

Behold
the
Preacher
in
his study,
looking like
diving
buddy.
See 
the
goggles
on
his
head?
See
the
flippers
in 
his
BED?
What kind
of man
is this
CREATURE?
Just
a
'nother
desperate
PREACHER!
Preaching still
the words
of God
while
struggling
'gainst
Ipad and pod.

Whatever it takes...

As together we stand and sing.

  1. e.e.cummings would be proud!
    Rod McKuen would sing
    praisey,
    praise.
    If Mozart were alive,
    I miss him,
    he would have a new librettist,
    and the "Magic Pulpit" would be a hit!
