Support Artists

"If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the alter of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams."

Topical Preaching

Last night I had a dream. It was Sunday morning and I was at an unfamiliar church. As the worship set was ending I was informed that I would be preaching the sermon. I was scared, but confident that the Lord would guide me through a text.

But then I was given a topic: repentance.

I got to the pulpit and fumbled through Scripture, trying to find something on repentance. For the longest time I just stood there, looking at my Bible. Then I decided to go to Nehemiah. I guess it kind of works, but preaching a sermon on repentance using Nehemiah as your supporting text seems like a stretch, or at least is not my first choice in consciousness.

I think I just had a nightmare about topical preaching.
