iPod for the Glory of God part 2
(Here’s the link for part one of “iPod for the Glory of God“)
Struggling for illustrations in your next sermon? Well if you have an iPod, it may help. One pastor has been using the iPod for illustrations on the Christian life. Here’s a sample of his analogies:
“When I go to iTunes, I select all that I want. When I go to Jesus
Christ, he gives me all that I need. It’s that simple,” Sberna told his
congregation Sunday morning. “Why have you not bought one of these
things. These are so cool. They cost a little bit of money, but they
are worth the money. Let me tell you something about salvation, it’s
free but it’s not cheap.”
Well — how can you argue with that

LOL.
…But you better not use the name “iGod” – that’s reserved only for Jesus.

BTW,
It was great to see you on Sunday. Sorry we couldn’t chill…I was totally inspired by your report on India.
We’ll have to kick it soon!

[...] The congregation has 85 adult and 35 youth members, but Lewis said the church is trying to grow.”We thought the shuffle idea was meeting young people, young adults and teenagers where they are, or maybe possibly a little ahead of them. . . . What we want to do is we want to let them know we are aware of what interests them, what their passion is and we want to be present to that, and we thought one of the ways to do that was to go electronic with it.” (see part 1 and part 2 of the iPod for the glory of God series) [...]
