You say "preacing Christ and Christ Crucified". The minute you start to unpack that slogan, you're a philosopher and you've begun giving people a "batch of philosophy".<BR/><BR/>St. Paul was a philospher. Thank God, he bothered to deliver a "batch of philosophy" and ponder many of life's deep questions rather than simple repeat what was in his Bible. Ohterwise, there would be no Christianity. When we unpack his words, we are philosophers also.<BR/><BR/>All sermons are bits of philosophy. By suggesting "philosophy" is not for the pulpit, do you really mean to suggest that people shouldn't offer a philosophy that you personally disagree with?Mike L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15978997781556741350noreply@blogger.com
