In spite of the cold and some snow our crowd was solid in the morning.
The sermon on Hell is always hard. I was recently asked why I didn't preach on it more and the honest answer is: I never want to be a preacher who likes to preach on it. When that happens it is cold, arrogant and impersonal.
Nevertheless, I do feel that is was useful and God took it and is using it on those who needed the message the most.
The PM: We looked @ how complex 'not loving the world' is. The hyper-fundamentalist may think they can compartmentalize and organize world vs. non-world issues but they are naive @ best.
Again, I feel like in spite of the preacher it was useful.
It was good to see the choir being faithful, a good crowd mixed w/ visitors and all in all a cold but solid day.
