As most of you know, a certain story about a megachurch pastor who didn’t let the most important of all days in the Christian calendar get in the way of his next sermon series, attracted, as of last night, 56 comments here; a comment level relatively unheard at Thinking Out Loud where people tend to read, nod and smile.
So I was quite pleased this week to uncover this quotation from master communicator Andy Stanley:
“…On an Easter Sunday in Dallas Texas, I visited a Bible Church with some friends. On the way they explained that their pastor was preaching through the book of Psalms. They were in their 43d week. Easter would be week 44. And sure enough, on Easter Sunday, this guy picked up with Psalm 44. He made a reference to Easter at some point along the way. But it was a stretch. In his defense, he was teaching the Bible to people and his approach matched his goal.”
