I have posted my sermon from yesterday (March 18) on my alternate blog, Sermons by Eric. Last week I talked about the Gospel text from Luke 15 that is normally titled "The Prodigal Son". In my post The Prodigal Father, I pondered the idea of changing the name of the Prodigal Son parable. In my sermon yesterday I did just that. Let me know what you think. Am I off my rocker? I may be, but sometimes we need to fall off our rocker to get a better perspective. Sometimes we waste too much energy trying to stay on our rockers that we fail to see other possibilities.
I believe God is wasteful with his forgiveness. After all…we WILL let God down again and hurt him. So thanks be to our "wasteful" God. -edh-
