I have certain blogs, web sites, newpapers, etc daily that I peruse. Laura Ingraham, The Weekly Standard, Rush Limbaugh, all the blogs to the left (I am in my blog infancy and haven’t figured out how to make lists yet.  Summer project…), along with several newspapers for starters. I have recently downloaded all of the video sermons from the Celebration Church with Stovall Weems, mainly because anyone with a name like Stovall Weems has to be totally radical. I was right, the sermons are great. If we happen to have more kids, probably adopted unless divine intervention is involved if you know what I mean, I am going to name a boy Stovall. I also downloaded all of the sermons from the church where Pastor Dino Rizzo (yes that is correct, it not Pastor Rizzo’s church) is the lead pastor. I was drawn like a moth to a bug zapper to a sermon titled, “You’re an Idiot.” I know, I know, blah, blah, blah. I was thinking it was him (Pastor Rizzo) I was initially listening to but it turned out to be Pastor Craig Groeschel. The sermon was outstanding. I actually listened to it twice on my way to outreach clinic in Parkston. If you have the ability to download the podcast, take a listen and let me know what you think. I think it is easy to get caught up in the flavor of the day whether it’s this praise and worship style because church such-and-such has blazing guitars and a 100 person choir, or maybe a certain doctrine that we are debating amongst (nice KJV lingo there huh!) ourselves, or maybe its our pot luck (something I learned in Richmond, VA that the Southern Baptists at Grove Avenue Baptist do without peer!), or our big shiny new building, or … you get the point. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, period. If our focus isn’t there, we should seriously think about refocusing. It is easy to get sucked into the tangential topics that would take us away from a dying world and our primary mission. I find it interesting the number of Christians, long time Christians, who have never led some to the Lord. Has it been a while? Ever? I often think the reason one hasn’t is that they have never had a revelation of what hell is and what it would be like to spend an eternity, eternity, in hell. Would I be so cavalier with my relationships to those around me if I had any idea what an eternity in hell would be like? I doubt it. I pray God would give us a revelation, of hell and that it would light a fire (no pun intended) in us for those around us and that we would realize that the preoccupation with the church should be to rescue as many as possible from an eternity separated from the One whose one mission was to leave Heaven, be born to a virgin, live a perfect life, and die a horrible death on a cross just so we could have a relationship with the Him if we would only accept the gift he presents to us.
