Thoughts For A Sunday Night

 When they introduce classical music they always tell who the composer was first, and then they tell who performed the piece. When they announce a pop song of any genre they first tell who performed or sang the song, and rarely if ever do they tell who wrote the song.

Some sermons go to great lengths to tell us about the Bible story. Who wrote it, when it was written. What they were thinking. Only then do they tell how to apply the Bible to everyday life. Some sermons get to the point of how to apply it and they might not ever dissect the verse to explain the details of the historic writer.

In music there is no right or wrong way to describe a song. In preaching there is no right or wrong way to preach a sermon. As long as the song is performed. As long as the sermon is preached.

I think about things like this.
