Made In Clemson: Can I get an Amen??

I just love Sundays! I get to go to church and spend the rest of the afternoon crossing things off my to-do list! Newspring was awesome today. We rocked out to Guns N' Roses. Perry preached about the process of salvation and challenged everyone to recall the exact moment that we accepted Jesus. When he gave the invitation, people were asked to literally walk down to the front and nail their names to the cross. Awesome! As pumped up as I usually get about the sermon, though, there is always one person sitting behind me in the distance who is a little more pumped.

Let's talk about this person for a second. I'm talking about the person who feels the need to insert his (or her) commentary every 10 minutes during a sermon. First of all, God doesn't need your affirmation. Second of all, why must you always use that same tone of voice? It sounds like you're constipated. Do you talk that way to your friends when you're having a conversation? One of them says "This vanilla ice cream is particularly good today" and you respond aggressively with "That's right!". No. You don't do that. I understand that you feel strongly about the message, but next time a simple nodding of the head will suffice. I'm sure the person you came with will be a lot less embarrassed.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I will admit that church today was definitely "Amen-worthy". If you ever want to check it out, you can watch the services live online at www.newspring.cc!!
