That seems to be what you want! <BR/>I would also like to know if you sincerely pray for Dr. Brunson on a regular basis. I very much doubt it with all of the negative things you say about him. <BR/>Way to show that Christian testimony!

Here are my observations:<BR/><BR/>1. Mac stretches his typologies from the OT to today. He was preaching on Caleb (so I have no idea how old the sermon actually was) and sure stretched to get to some of his points. <BR/><BR/>2. He is really weak on application. I thought I was sitting in an OT history class. Trust me--you are not a "seeker friendly" church with that kind of preaching. <BR/><BR/>3. I noticed that they had a whole list of credits on the screen at the end of the sermon and Jim Whitmire was not mentioned at all.<BR/><BR/>4. At the end it said:<BR/><BR/>"Presentation of First Baptist Church, Jacksonville"<BR/><BR/>and <BR/><BR/>"Brought To You By Look & Live, Inc."<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I got the name right at the end but it was something to that effect. <BR/><BR/>I might need your help in interpreting what all this means. <BR/><BR/>Overall, the sermon was a 1.9 on a 10 point scale.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769726517498571207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-84613121229029364112008-08-24T21:35:00.000-04:002008-08-24T21:35:00.000-04:00Dr.Watchdog did you not state that Brunson said th...Dr.Watchdog did you not state that Brunson said that he thought about being a lawyer before becoming a preacher?

One week bullying, another week whining, another week preaching the truth. What can you count on for next week? So today was fine. But you know by "history" that the cycle will start again. So isn't it ironic that history seems to be a big component of Mac's ministry? If you really think about it, he's snitching on himself.<BR/>Just something to think about.ochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910693449008506409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-50831391634328567572008-08-24T16:02:00.000-04:002008-08-24T16:02:00.000-04:00Mac seemed to be in a better mood today than last ...Mac seemed to be in a better mood today than last week. Solid sermon today on Romans 3 and the topic of redemption.<BR/><BR/>In the service today he did further explain the plan for the "South Campus", and he encouraged people to attend "Smyrl the Pearl's" informtion meeting tonight at 5:00 pm for those interested in starting a "LifeLink" in their neighborhood that will feed the South Campus start up on Easter Sunday 2009. <BR/><BR/>No reprimands today for failure to clap enough, and overall a very good message. He mentioned the "316 cards" and the importance of praying for people on the card, and to invite people to hear Junior Hill preach next Sunday morning.<BR/><BR/>Also, I hope our finance committee took note of Mac's declaration during his sermon that he would "preach for free". I'd like to test him on that one...maybe if that's true he'll donate 100% of his honoraria to FBC Jax that he earns when he goes on his preaching gigs out of town.FBC Jax Watchdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740366031265491559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-91015670521796166152008-08-24T15:29:00.000-04:002008-08-24T15:29:00.000-04:00Well Tuna, I reckon 'tricity and indoor plumbin' c...Well Tuna, I reckon 'tricity and indoor plumbin' could be a 'quirement.
