Heh. Our pastor said right off he wasn't going to lecture the fathers this year, he'd let them off easy, but then he gives some sort of "quit ye like men" message every few weeks. He's good on that.
Appropriately enough for Father's Day, our denomination passed a call for the government to uphold marriage. Also called on married folk to work harder at their marriages... Pastor tied that in, which is something since it was only passed two days before.
Our pastor didn't really lecture the father's this year. What he did was kinda neat. He's really getting into the audio-visual stuff (and we've got some vey talented people who do the video work). He lead in with different types of father's and then went into Michael Reagan's remark about the gift of the knowledge of Christ that his dad left with him. The sermon was more encouraging than lecturing.
I'm wondering if he got some response from when his wife delivered the Mothers Day sermon (I know that don't happen in the PCA). She started with a whole list of magazine covers talking about all the things wimmin are stressed with. Okay, good start.
Then she went into about a dozen things wimmin need to be doing...
See y'all Sunday evening! Keep me in your prayers for totally uneventful flights both ways!
