Rev. Dr. Robin MeyersI have been neglecting my blog lately. The beginning of school seems to absorb all my time and energy. I thought, however, that I would post some exerpts from my pastor's, Robin Meyers, sermons. I like to take notes when Robin preaches. I find it keeps me focused, and I come away with some good ideas such as these:
"In Christian Art, before Jesus was depicted as being crucified, he was shown feeding the multitudes."
"Jesus is Lord of Culture, not subject to it."
"If Jesus is everything we want him to be, then he is nothing."
"Last year in America, only one person burned a flag. However, 1 out of 5 Americans live in poverty. How come no one is talking about passing a Constitutional Amendment banning poverty?"
"The Church is using the Politics of Purity to shelter its members from the Politics of Compassion."
"Jesus was crucified for the company he kept."
"In the purity system of Israel, shepherds were considered the lowest of the low. However, they were the first ones to get the news of Jesus' birth."
"Religious observance must not interfer with work of the heart."
"Ministers can't stay out of politics as long as politics affects people for whom Christ died."
"It is in service to humanity that service to Christ is proved."
