So I am doing something completely different on Sunday.
It might turn out to be a bad idea.
So why not blog about it ahead of time?
The main points of my sermon are coming right out of the journal I kept with me in Turkey and Greece.
Let me assure you that I am not planning to preach on my deepest, darkest diary secrets. I suppose I should also assure you I will be preaching the Word. I will. But not like I normally do.
The points of personal application came out of Scriptural meditation and my experiences with the brave souls on the mission field.
They came out of considering our current ministry (strengths, weaknesses) and comparing it to what I saw on the field and read about in the Word.
As I have been prayerfully reflecting upon these points, I am convinced that they will benefit more than just me.
So, Lord willing, I will turn them into the points of the sermon on Sunday.
