Sundae Conversations |
This blog is a result of conversations and questions about life and spirituality between Scott Fields and Michael Schmitt. The original meetings were over caramel sundaes at a local McDonalds |
This is part one of a series of posts on issues of the church relating to entertainment:
The pastor of my church said “I apologize” regarding his lengthy sermon today. I glanced at my watch and the sermon ended minutes after the 12 o’clock hour with all the wind down announcements and such of the service still left to go. I object to the idea that my pastor should feel the need to apologize for not meeting some expected length of time with a sermon. What if we only gave God a specific time to do anything in our lives?
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” - Ecclesiastes 3:1. And “For the revelation awaits an appointed time…wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay” Habakkuk 2:3
God acts on His own time and fitting Him into a schedule is foolish and it inhibits our ability to grow in His Word through His appointed teachers. No pastor should be an entertainer.
