I was especially blown away by the bit about how diakonos has been translated differently depending on whether the person being referred to was male or female.<br /><br />By the way, none of the audio recordings on the sermon page were working. That isn't a problem when it comes to your sermons, since you have the text online MZFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740356512182051832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623369862182990355.post-62959324924375318042013-01-02T15:59:14.529-05:002013-01-02T15:59:14.529-05:00Thanks for the link to your past sermons.

I'll start reading those now.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I did go to church on Sunday, and was relieved to find both the scriptures and the sermon inoffensive. You got me thinking about changes I would like to make in my life. However, learning to like Ephesians is not one of those changes. ;-)MZFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740356512182051832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623369862182990355.post-79820009252422248222012-12-30T09:15:52.183-05:002012-12-30T09:15:52.183-05:00Yes. I get this. When we did a five part series on...Yes. I get this. When we did a five part series on "What we can learn from scriptures we wish weren't in the Bible," we used other scripture lessons rather than the ones we were discussing. It probably would have been good to do that here as well. That series was in August 2010 and you can find links to those sermons here http://www.foundryumc.org/2010-sermons. <br /><br />thanks Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333223125397603828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623369862182990355.post-67988910672100945852012-12-26T13:56:56.123-05:002012-12-26T13:56:56.123-05:00I have very mixed feelings about your decision to ...I have very mixed feelings about your decision to preach on Ephesians 5:22. On the one hand, I understand that you are concerned that otherwise we will form our own views and reach very negative conclusions about the Bible. On the other hand, having just read your blog and sermon, I'm thanking my lucky star that I wasn't in church that week.
