A Childish Sermon

Tweet

Happy Easter! Christ supposedly said, "Suffer the little Children to come unto me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Meaning that a person be like a child who in their childlike simplicity and humility accept Christ through faith alone. "Childlike" does not mean childish which is an indication of immaturity. I read an article(2014) where Manila archbishop (now Cardinal) Tagle express dismay when he ask his parishioners a hypothetical question, "What is more important, the mass or $30 million?" and the audience choose the huge amount of money. Really? For $30 million, many Christians including priests will sell their "soul" to the "Devil". Sermons are an integral part of the mass. It's suppose to deliver the word of God to the faithful. Preaching is one of the most effective ways in bringing about changes in people and winning them to the faith. It should be responsive to the times, instructive and practical. Don't treat your "flock" like mindless zombies For church goers, how would you rate the sermons of your priest or pastor? Are they inspiring or do you despair and can't wait for the mass to be over.
