Preacher quotes...

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Ok, so we've got this "Evangelism Conference" goin on at our church in Rusk this week. We didn't make it to the service last night, but my dad just told me of some things that one of the preachers said....and it's beyond hilarious...

First...
There is a family (the Griffins) in our church that has done music ministry for years and years all over the country/possibly world, and we're lucky enough to have them live in Rusk and call us their home church. They've led music in hundreds of revivals, events, etc. This particular preacher who was speaking last night has known them for a long time and done several events with them. He was talking about how much he loved them and all this mess, and how great they were as Christians and just as people in general. Then he proceeded to say, "If you don't like the Griffins, you're a pervert!"

No lie.

Second...
Same guy preaching, talking about how people use the excuse of other people not to go to church and such. Like, how people will say, "Well Johnny over there cusses and gets drunk and beats his wife, but he goes to Hollow Log Baptist Church every single Sunday. So why should I go to church if that's how those people are?" I just made up that last quote, and was very impressed with myself, by the way. Think about it....Hollow Log Baptist Church...symbolism? So the preacher is saying how other people's actions or deeds shouldn't affect your relationship with God. Then he says, "I don't care if the Pope cuts the leg off of a nun and beats a girl scout to death with it, it's not gonna change how I feel about God!"

Again...no lie.
