Subject: IM PREACHING ON SUNDAY.................. |
Bible Note: EdB: Good advice to SAZ and everyone else too. In his "Autobiography" Ben Franklin said, "I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, 'Without vanity I say...etc.' but that some vain thing immediately followed. Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they may have of it themselves." ..... And speaking of detailing their life of sin to the point it sounds almost as though they were bragging about it brings to mind a little story whose source escapes my recollection. It goes something like this. A young man gave his testimony and dwelled so heavily on his former life of sin, describing it in vivid detail, that it prompted someone in the audience to remark, "Boy, that sure was a good testimony about sin. I can't wait to get out of this church house and have some fun like he did." --Hank |
