Preaching at the Presbyterians

So I got to preach this morning. There were a few barriers. First, of course, is the language. But also, the church is Presbyterian, and I am closer to the Baptist tradition. Not that I have anything against Presbyterians. Some of my best friends are Presbyterians, and I pray for their salvation daily.

The church starts at noon. Yes, noon. Apparently some people like to sleep in. After several songs, the crowd of twenty thousand rise up and, stomping their feet, chant in joyful unison, “DANIEL!! DANIEL!! DANIEL!! I rise to the bank of microphones, and the stadium erupts in thunderous applause. I make sure all the tv cameras are ready, reach over and thank David Crowder for the music, then begin.

Okay, maybe that last paragraph was a bit of exaggeration. But we really did start at noon.

    Did they tape the sermon? Are you still having trouble sleeping? Somewhere in there is a solution to a problem....
