This afternoon I have been writing tomorrow's sermon. For those who don't know me, please rest assured that I am not a minister, vicar, priest or shaman. I'm just a normal idiot who thought that God has something He wants me to say. There must be some truth in it mind.
What heresy is this you say?
Well I never seem to have to worry about a theme or content. Whenever I need to write a sermon a theme appears and then the words just flow. I may need to start again when I go off track but it all comes very easily. I can see others reading this and saying that that isn't the case with them.
Maybe its because I don't have to write one every week. I'm not trying to claim to be a special conduit for God's word, I ain't that vain or foolish. I just feel that God is near when I start writing. I try to leave myself open and not be too structured before I start.
With all the stress I feel with work and life at present, this always seems to be something that is relaxing and effortless. For that small mercy I'm thankful.
For those interested, tomorrow is John The Baptist - trailer for Jesus. The announcer of the coming attraction, the greatest blockbuster ever. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Jaws, Bond? Nothing compared to Jesus.
