Strong, biblical, convicting.
Truthful, prophetic preaching! Thanks for posting this.
This was excellent. A sermon we all need to hear.
I was particularly taken with his thought that when we gather as a church it is to clarify.
O, to sit at the feet of such preaching rather than the pap that passes for preaching around here…not in all churches, perhaps, but pervasively. qb
I listened and loved the sermon…of course, that is easy to do when I am already in agreement with him on the issue he is dealing with. I do think his sermon offers a good model of how to prophetically speak to Christians who are plagued by such an issue and do it in a gracious way that neither unnecessarily critical of Americanism nor diminishing of the gospel…from my perspective as a preacher, finding that balance of ‘grace and truth’ is not so easily done.
Grace and peace,
Rex

You mean you aren’t a fan of taking a verse, or a partial verse of scripture and creating an application completely out of context that the text never intends to address?
You don’t like a 30 minute sermon that could be preached in 5, filled with a couple bad jokes, a made up story, and an out of place invitation to get dunked underwater and continue in a fruitless existance filled with unquenchable desires for more toys, tribalism, unhinged nationalism and the joys of brainless party politics?
Some Christian you are
Well, in a word, no. :/
What a wonderful sermon.
You do realize that The Cross and the Flag was the name of Gerald L.K. Smith’s hate publication? It makes those who remember quite leery of putting those two together again.
