The preacher needs to preach that Jesus also pooped and pissed while on earth. However, knowing everything except when his second coming would be, he always wiped himself in such a way he never got excrement on his hand....no..not once! He knew how to wipe and just where.
Well, of course, you HAVE to preach about attendance on Easter. Because that's the day when all the people who DON'T attend regularly show up, and what better time to harangue, guilt and shame them than on the ONE DAY that they actually decide to attend? Any COC preacher worth his salt knows that! Never mind taking the opportunity to deliver an inspirational message that may positively influence them. Let's make sure they actively avoid us as a place of shame and guilt forevermore!klp wrote:This Easter Sunday we were visiting other friends church and they had a young man with almost 1 year of preacher school instruction under his belt. He made the comments about how the denominations are all talking about Jesus and Easter but he knows we have seen the movies and know all about its so no need to go over all that. He instead was going to talk about the importance of attending every service. And then he paused and made the comment that however he still thinks it is legitimate and valid to preach about Jesus death and resurrection. Whew...glad to know that. Now let's get back to that urgent burning topic of attendance.
