This grieved me even before...Excellent post, Jeff. This grieved me even before I was called to preach. I never understood why people (even ministers) did not delight in the preaching of God's word. I can remember attending a Virginia Baptist association-wide meeting where the key-note preacher began by saying that he wouldn't be taking long because he knew everyone wanted to go home. The majority responded with jovial "amens." I looked at my friend beside me in bewilderment. We asked each other, "why did anyone bother coming to begin with?" It is truly tragic to see the lack of desire for God's word even among ministers. No wonder they can laugh at such a cartoon. It certainly reveals the desire of the hearts of many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
