The Believer In the Public Square

Red State’s Erick Erickson:

On Saturday, I’ll deliver my first  actual sermon at an Apologetics conference in Chicago.  I submit it here now for your consideration.  Frankly, if I keep staring at it, I’m going to make changes again, so I’m getting  it in the wild now.  It’s written to be spoken, which I have not done in a long time.

This is actually one of the most difficult things I have done.  I speak for two to three hours a day unscripted on radio.  But there are no souls involved.  James 3:1 became very real for me.   “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”  Here there are souls involved. My respect for preachers has gone up even more.

— Erick
