Winner: "Most Awkward Use of Sermon Visuals" Award
I read this on a blog recently it cracked me up.
My good friend Chris, told me this story a couple years ago about his middle-America church, and I've been itching to blog it, but never felt I had permission.
That is, until he commented in a thread a couple items below about trying-not-to-laugh moments:
Our pastor, who is rather distant at times, was doing a teaching on communion, and put a slide up during the teaching, to emphasize the point that 'bread is life'.
Some of the more art-sensitive people noticed something about the slide, and had to look away. Some of the teen-aged boys noticed it too, and the snickering started. The pastor didn't notice.
And some gasping. But it gets worse:
After the teaching, he called the ushers forward to serve communion and instructed the video person to put that slide back up so that we could meditate upon it.
Various subdued reactions from muted laughter to restrained retching as people contemplated the image...then our campus minister went to the back and convinced the video person to go to a black screen.

A few thoughts from my message today, "Living for the Cause!"
John 18
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”
Do you remember a time in your life when you lived for the cause of Christ 110%. What would it take for you to live like that in every moment?

Check this out!
Naomi and I have 2 sponsor children. Its hard to find the money some months. The only reason we don't have more is because that's all we can afford.
Its so worth it to change someones life through sponsorship and to witness the changes first hand.
Why don't you go online and sponsor a child today!
