The dangers of preaching...

 
When cricket umpires preach?

I was preaching yesterday about Jesus' command to 'love one another' and pointed out that this is as old as the hills, referring to where God's people were told to do this in Leviticus.  Or I tried to point that out. 

Genuine laugh out loud moment this morning on receiving this email today.  I'll leave you to look up the passages to see why:

Hi Steve,
Good sermon on Sunday morning!
If you ever preach it again though you might want to revisit the second slide in your presentation.
I think that you probably meant to quote from Leviticus 19 v 18, however the actual verse you wrote on the slide was Leviticus 18 v 19. It added a whole new perspective to the point you were making........... :-)
Best Wishes,
Dave

  1. Dear Steve,
    I am an Academic at the Department of Old and New Testament, Faculty of Theology, University of Stellenbosch in South-Africa.
    As part of my PhD research (completed March 2010) I used an image (When cricket umpires preach?) from your blog for research purposes.
    I am now in the process of publishing my research and would like to know if I can use the image for publication.

    Would you please advise me in this regard.
