Some sermon experiments (for postmoderns) - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

I got 15 texts sent to my phone and all were pertinent questions to the sermon/powerpoint presentation I delivered. I used these to help in the afternoon follow-up discussion we had in a seminar I gave on national and global issues dealing with religious liberty. Everyone who spoke to me about the texting had favorable comments; I guess the ones who didn't think well of the experiment don't know how to text?

It could be that they didn't have anything to say; or that they don't like the idea and chose not to participate; or that they left their cell phones in their cars; or left them turned off; or didn't want to use a service they pay for on the Sabbath; or didn't have anything positive to say and kept it to themselves; or were busy texting other people about the sermon; or were busy texting other people about other topics; or; or; or; ....

abelisle Seeker Registered: 2002-08-13 Posts: 1509 Loc: Bronx, NY, USA	Something quite powerful happened this evening as a result of my "texting" experiment last Sabbath. I get a call on my cell phone that I didn't recognize. The caller on the other line says, "Pastor,I was a visitor at your church this Sabbath. Can I speak to you? I need someone to talk to about this problem I've had for over 30 years." I responded that I wasn't the Pastor , just the speaker that Sabbath but that I would be more than willing to speak with him about his problem, offer some advice and finally pray with him over the phone. This never would have happened if I had not given out my cellphone number this Sabbath! The Lord works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform!
