Preacher Slip-Up

By | Published 04/19/2009

For a preaching class I’m taking this semester I have to turn in a sermon report form each week, providing a critique of preachers and sermons. I was listening along tonight and filling out my sermon report form when the preacher had a comical slip of the tongue. This is too good not to share.

Download Clip (350kb MP3)

I’m not sharing the preacher’s name or church because I don’t want to shame him in any way, but I made this little clip/excerpt just to share his slip-up anonymously. If you’re interested in finding the complete sermon, I’ve included enough information to get you there in the comment field of the MP3 ID3 tag.

Samuel Johnson on Procrastination

By | Published 04/11/2009

Samuel Johnson knew about procrastination. His periodical The Rambler was published each Tuesday and Saturday for two years. He knew all about being employed deliberating on subjects that occurred to the imagination while having deadlines looming. Rambler #134 treats of this, every student’s anxiety and proclivity to procrastination. Johnson’s conclusion should be enough to get us up off our bums and doing something productive. If not, read the entire rambling.

The certainty that life cannot be long, and the probability that it will be much shorter than nature allows, ought to awaken every man to the active prosecution of whatever he is desirous to perform. It is true, that no diligence can ascertain success; death may intercept the swiftest career; but he who is cut off in the execution of an honest undertaking has at least the honour of falling in his rank, and has fought the battle, though he missed the victory.

Let’s go!
